DeepSeek halts new signups amid “large-scale” cyberattack www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

Chinese AI platform DeepSeek has disabled registrations on its DeepSeek-V3 chat platform due to an ongoing “large-scale” cyberattack targeting its services.

DeepSeek is a relatively new AI platform that has quickly gained attention over the past week for its development and release of an advanced AI model that allegedly matches or outperforms the capabilities of US tech giant’s models at significantly lower costs.

The news of the new model led to a massive sell-off in the US stock market as the AI arms race heats up.
