Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is developing a cutting-edge, agentic AI model aimed to launch as early as this year, potentially positioning itself as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s GPT-5.
Based in Hangzhou, DeepSeek, already known for its rapid rise earlier this year, plans to deploy a model designed for autonomous, multi-step task execution with minimal human input.
Unlike conventional chatbot interactions, this model is intended to perform complex workflows independently, potentially reshaping how AI agents assist in productivity and automation.
