DeepSeek adds vision: AI can now see images, video

Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has added vision to its chatbot for the first time. The update allows the AI to process images and video in addition to text, matching rivals that already offer the function. The limited release to select users comes days after the Hangzhou-based company launched its new flagship model V4. DeepSeek also introduced extensive price cuts following that release. DeepSeek multimodal team leader Chen Xiaokang confirmed the development.
