DeepSeek, a Hangzhou-based AI startup, is preparing to launch a new artificial intelligence model with advanced AI agent features, aiming to compete with leading US firms such as OpenAI. According to sources, the unveiling is targeted for Q4 2025.
The upcoming model is designed to perform complex, multi-step tasks with minimal user input, showcasing an ability to learn from past actions—a key feature that distinguishes agent-style AI from standard chatbots. By focusing on autonomous problem-solving and contextual learning, DeepSeek seeks to position itself at the forefront of the AI agent revolution.
Key Highlights
The startup had earlier gained industry attention in January 2025 with the release of DeepSeek R1, an AI model recognized for its strong reasoning abilities and impressive benchmark performance. However, since then, it has introduced only incremental updates, while global competitors in both the US and China have accelerated their rollouts of new models and features.
DeepSeek’s shift towards agent-based models aligns with a wider trend in the AI sector, where companies are moving beyond conversational chatbots to create intelligent digital agents capable of executing sophisticated, real-world tasks. This evolution reflects growing enterprise and consumer demand for tools that not only answer questions but also act, adapt, and optimize over time.
