DeepSeek is coming in for the kill. With Silicon Valley already on its knees, the Chinese startup is releasing yet another open-source AI model — this time an image generator that the company claims is superior to OpenAI's DALL·E3.

DeepSeek claims its Janus-Pro-7B outperforms existing models such as OpenAI's DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. In a bold move that mirrors its approach with DeepSeek-R1, the company has made Janus-Pro-7B free and open source.

DeepSeek says its updated text-to-image generator Janus pro-7B outperforms OpenAI's DALL-E 3 across multiple benchmarks.

Now DeepSeek has released Janus Pro, an image generating model the company claims that has been engineered for versatility and efficiency. It is and advanced version based on the Janus model, released last year, that performs text-to-image creation that scales up the training data and increases the model size.

The Chinese startup that has stunned Silicon Valley with its language models now boasts superior image generation and understanding.

DeepSeek has made waves after delivering a ChatGPT rival, and it's now revealed upgraded image models to rival top image generators.

DeepSeek's new open-source AI model surpassed Stability AI and Microsoft-backed OpenAI's models in benchmarks for image generation, the Chinese startup said in a technical report on Monday. The company said its Janus-Pro-7B AI model outperformed OpenAI's DALL-E 3 and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion in a leaderboard ranking for image generation using text prompts.
