DeepSeek Releases Update to R1 Model, Nears OpenAI
Home » Latest news » DeepSeek Releases Update to R1 Model, Nears OpenAI Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has released an update to its R1 reasoning model, increasing pressure on U.S. rivals like OpenAI. The update, named R1-0528, was launched on developer platform Hugging Face in the early hours of Thursday. However, the company has not made an official public announcement or shared a detailed model description. Despite the quiet release, early results suggest strong performance. The LiveCodeBench leaderboard, a benchmark created by researchers at UC Berkeley, MIT, and Cornell, ranked the updated R1 model just behind OpenAI's o4 mini and o3 in code generation. It also ranked ahead of xAI's Grok 3 mini and Alibaba's Qwen 3. • DeepSeek's R1-0528 is now publicly available on Hugging Face • Ranked closely behind top models from OpenAI on key benchmarks Bloomberg first reported the update on Wednesday. According to the report, a DeepSeek representative revealed in a WeChat group that the company had completed a 'minor trial upgrade' and invited users to begin testing. The move comes as global AI competition heats up. Google's Gemini has introduced discounted access tiers, while OpenAI recently released the o3 Mini, a lightweight model with reduced computing demands. Meanwhile, DeepSeek is widely expected to launch a next-generation model. In March, Reuters reported that R2, a successor to the R1 line, was initially planned for release in May. In the same month, DeepSeek also upgraded its V3 large language model, highlighting its ongoing efforts to keep pace with industry leaders. Though it remains relatively quiet about its releases, DeepSeek's performance on recognized benchmarks signals growing competitiveness in the AI space.

This is part of a comprehensive development project aimed at developing air transport infrastructure in the northern part of Saudi Arabia and enhancing the efficiency of vital facilities in the region. This was revealed by Director General of the General Administration of Privatization at the Ministry of Transport and Logistics Eng. Saud Al-Arifi while attending a dialogue session titled "Investment opportunities in the transport and logistics sector" at the Hail Forum. He said that the project represents a key pillar of the ministry's plan to transform Hail into an integrated logistics center. Al-Arifi said that the ministry, in cooperation with the Hail Region Development Authority, is also working on a massive logistics center project spanning an area exceeding 374,000 square meters. This project aims to serve supply chains and facilitate the movement of goods between various Saudi regions, he said. Work is underway on a roadside services development project to provide integrated facilities that meet the needs of travelers and support the safety and efficiency of regional roads. These projects are in line with Hail's geographical position as a central hub connecting the north, center, and west, enhancing its ability to play a pivotal role in the future of transportation and logistics services in the Kingdom. It is noteworthy that Hail International Airport is only 60 minutes away from 11 Arab capitals and 200 minutes away from Central Europe.
