- Deepseek says he suffers from a huge cyber attack
- The attack prevented new users from registering
- A DDOS attack would be the cause of the breakdown
Deepseek had to temporarily interrupt new registrations for his generator cat-chat due to “large-scale malicious attacks” against the platform.
The open source model has recently been published to the public, causing undulations in the technological industry, sending American markets in free fall.
The relatively new platform has switched to the number one on the American App Store, replacing Chatgpt as the most popular free application, and would have cost a cost as little as $ 5.6 million.
No new users
This growth has apparently led to undesirable attention, and Deepseek did not share any details on the attack, but due to the systems that the attack affects, it may be a distributed denial (DDOS ) Against the platform API and the web chat of the Services platform.
The Deepseek status page simply indicates: “Due to large -scale malicious attacks against Deepseek services, we temporarily limit registrations to provide continuous service. Existing users can connect as usual. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Although recording for new users is not currently available, the service can always be accessible by registering with a Google account, with email, linguistic preference and the profile of a shared user with Deepseek in return .
Despite numerous sanctions promulgated by the Biden administration aimed at depriving China of the last semiconductors, the initial tests suggest that the Deepseek model surpasses its American counterparts despite its development for a fraction of the cost.
The release of the open source means that the model is free to download and use by other AI developers, to considerably disrupt the AI market in the United States and cause enormous sales of actions in American technological companies. It remains to be seen that the United States is faced with this new competition in the AI arms race with innovation or increased sanctions.
