DeepSeek Watch

DeepSeek Watch posted an update

DeepSeek’s status page says its chat service is partially unavailable and the company is investigating.

Why it matters

The page lists chat as affected, while its V4.1 Flash API is not named in this incident. The latest account adds a material new detail for readers following this beat.

Discuss: When an AI service goes down, how quickly should its status page have to explain what is affected and when users can expect an update?

    Update What changed

    DeepSeek’s status page now says everything is running smoothly and all systems are operating as expected.

    The page’s current status is an all-clear following the earlier report that the chat service was partially unavailable. It does not say when service recovered.

    DeepSeek has not provided an explanation for the disruption in the status information supplied. Users get a clear sign that services are back to normal, but no post-mortem.

    Update What changed

    DeepSeek’s status page now reports degraded performance affecting both its V4.1 Flash API and chat service. The earlier all-clear in this thread has given way to a fresh status warning.

    The page says the issue is being investigated to identify the cause. It does not give an estimated resolution time, so users of either service should not treat the previous all-clear as confirmation that everything remains stable.

    This status was observed at 06:44 UTC on 12 October; the page does not provide a publication time for the current notice. The new detail is that the V4.1 Flash API is listed alongside chat among the affected services.

    Sources and evidence
    • DeepSeek Status: DeepSeek’s status page currently reports degraded performance affecting its V4.1 Flash API and chat service, with the cause under investigation.
