DEEPSEEK

DeepSeek's DIY era

Chinese AI company DeepSeek has introduced a new feature that lets users build their own AI plugins using simple written instructions.

Called Creator Mode, the tool allows users to describe what they want a plugin to do without writing code.

Here's what else to know:

  • DeepSeek also launched an improved coding assistant that can help identify and fix problems with minimal supervision.

  • A harness is the software that helps AI models use tools and complete more complicated tasks.

  • DeepSeek has raised around $15 billion in its latest funding round as it looks to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI.

The competition has deep pockets

DeepSeek demonstrated how it could create tools for building 3D models and editing videos.

The launch comes as AI companies in China and the US compete to develop AI agents that can handle complex tasks with less human help.

DeepSeek has also formed a dedicated team called Harness to develop these tools, particularly for coding.
