Igeekphone reported on August 13th that its own large model revealed that DeepSeek R2 will be released this month, which has drawn the attention of netizens. Will this update be a return of the king?
Judging from the questions raised by netizens to DeepSeek, the model’s answer is that DeepSeek R2 is expected to be released between August 15th and August 30th, 2025.
In response, a person close to DeepSeek stated that the news was untrue and confirmed that there were no plans to release DeepSeek R2 within August.
No matter when DeepSeek R2 is released, judging from their actual actions, the relevant version has indeed been updated and tested internally. However, it is still unknown at what point it will be launched.
It is reported that although the R&D team has been engaged in high-intensity development for several months, the company’s CEO, Liang Wenfeng, is still not satisfied with the performance of the new model as to why it has not been released yet.
In addition, DeepSeek may be facing the predicament of a shortage of computing power reserves. It is reported that due to the unexpected ban on the sale of NVIDIA’s H20 chip before, the computing power reserves of DeepQuest have been affected. The company is worried that once the new model is launched, the sudden surge in call volume in a short period of time may lead to a poor user experience due to insufficient computing power.
