About

DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence start-up that has added multimodal capabilities to its flagship chatbot, allowing it to process images and video in addition to text. This development comes after the company released its new flagship model V4, which was followed by China's plan to integrate AI into its shipping industry by 2027. The company's move is significant as it brings its chatbot in line with rivals that already offer similar capabilities. The recent news highlights DeepSeek's growing importance in the AI sector and its efforts to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
