DeepSeek's R1 upgrade is close to top LLM

DeepSeek today launched DeepSeek-R1-0528, an upgraded version of its R1 big language model, which says now matches OpenAi's O3 and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) GEMINI 2.5 PRO.
China-based AI company attributes enhanced post-training algorithm optimization and enhanced computing pipelines to the inference accuracy of complex logic tasks from 70% to 87.5%, while reducing hallucination rates and improving ambient coding performance. DeepSeek highlights benchmark wins in mathematics, programming and general inference, positioning R1-0528 as a leading Western model.
This version follows DeepSeek's recent launch of Prover-V2 (Professional Reasoning Engine) and is in the range of a series of Chinese AI Advancementssalibaba (NYSE:BABA) QWEN 3 and BAIDU'S (NASDAQ:BIDU) ERNIE 4.5/X1. DeepSeek believes that the combination of its development spirit and performance parity gives it a unique advantage in global AI research.
Investors and partners should care, as DeepSeek-R1-0528's approach to the top LLM standards can accelerate enterprise deployment in Asia and beyond, drive cloud computing demand, and strengthen competition in a rapidly growing AI landscape. As models in the West and China compete for supreme competition, such benchmarks will shape strategic bets about talent, infrastructure and cross-border AI cooperation.
With R1-0528 now embracing faces available, the market will focus on adoption of startups and research labs, potential licensing deals, and further develop DeepSeek's open source roadmap.
