DeepSeek V3.1 just dropped — and it might be the most powerful open AI yet

Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek made waves across the global AI community Tuesday with the quiet release of its most ambitious model yet — a 685-billion parameter system that challenges the dominance of American AI giants while reshaping the competitive landscape through open-source accessibility.

The Hangzhou-based company, backed by High-Flyer Capital Management, uploaded DeepSeek V3.1 to Hugging Face without fanfare, a characteristically understated approach that belies the model’s potential impact. Within hours, early performance tests revealed benchmark scores that rival proprietary systems from OpenAI and Anthropic, while the model’s open-source license ensures global access unconstrained by geopolitical tensions.
