While DeepSeek’s API services previously experienced extended disruptions during periods of heavy usage in early 2025, the chatbot’s main web interface had not been down for more than two hours until this incident, according to its status records.
The outage comes as global interest in DeepSeek continues to grow following the viral success of its R1 and V3 models, which helped position the company as a major player in the AI sector.
The AI industry is closely watching DeepSeek’s next-generation model, though the company has not announced a release timeline. Despite the outage, demand for its tools remains strong among both developers and general users.
