Category: DeepSeek News
This section holds one published article: a tracker for the reported DeepSeek R2 release date, which separates what DeepSeek has actually announced from what has only been reported. It is kept as its own section because a dated, source-attributed tracker does not belong inside the evergreen guides.
DeepSeek News
It is not a news feed, and we are not going to pretend otherwise until there is more here. For developer-facing changes — new model IDs, deprecations, API behavior — the DeepSeek API updates tracker is the fuller and more current record. For availability problems, use the status page.
Where we do publish here, we distinguish an official announcement — from a DeepSeek-controlled site, documentation page, developer platform, status page or verified repository — from a reported claim attributed to a named third party, and from an unconfirmed rumor, which is never presented as established fact. Each article separates its publication date from the date of the underlying event.
