DeepSeek has recently rolled out updates to its V3 model, focusing on enhancing its programming capabilities and maintaining a competitive edge in the AI market. The latest V3-0324 update, quietly released on Hugging Face, aims to tackle real-world issues while also improving accuracy and efficiency benchmarks.

Earlier this year, DeepSeek's success surpassed that of rivals like ChatGPT, securing the top spot as the most downloaded free app on Apple's US app store. The startup's remarkable progress, including the performance of its R1 model comparable to leading models from OpenAI, impressed the industry and caused a stir in US markets.

Despite being an older platform, DeepSeek's V3 has sparked discussions about whether cutting-edge AI platforms can be developed at a fraction of the cost of large-scale data center investments by US corporations.
