DeepSeek temporarily limited new sign-ups, citing 'large-scale malicious attacks'


The Chinese AI company DeepSeek cited recent "large-scale malicious attacks" for the temporary registration limits.

DeepSeek limited sign-ups for its service as the popular Chinese AI app encountered a widespread outage on Monday morning. As of 11:40 a.m. in New York, the company's status page said its API was operating with "degraded performance" and its web chat service was experiencing a "partial outage." The startup's latest release, a flagship AI model called DeepSeek-R1, was unveiled on January 20, the day Trump took office, and has since left many researchers astounded by its capabilities, especially in math, coding, and reasoning tasks.
