- DeepSeek delayed its new model release due to technical issues with Huawei’s Ascend chips, opting to use Nvidia chips for training instead.
- DeepSeek v3.1 was introduced with hybrid inference modes, improved agent skills, and API updates, but received little attention.
- Claims of v3.1 outperforming Claude Opus 4 on benchmarks like SWE and Aider are not widely corroborated.
- User feedback on v3.1 is mixed, with some praising its efficiency while others report hallucinations and poor performance.
- DeepSeek faces compute limitations, exacerbated by China’s push to replace Nvidia with Huawei chips.
- The lack of widespread reaction to v3.1 suggests it may only be a minor incremental upgrade.
