Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Technology Research Co., Ltd. has officially released a statement regarding the recent issues of counterfeit accounts and misinformation related to DeepSeek.
According to the company, to protect user rights and reduce the negative impact of false information, they are clarifying issues related to the official DeepSeek accounts. Currently, DeepSeek has only one official account on WeChat, Xiaohongshu, and Twitter, with the account names being "DeepSeek," "@DeepSeek (deepseek_ai)," and "DeepSeek (@deepseek_ai)." The company emphasizes that any other accounts claiming to release information on behalf of DeepSeek or its relevant personnel are counterfeit. If DeepSeek opens new official accounts on other platforms in the future, announcements will be made through existing official accounts.
Additionally, the company points out that all information related to DeepSeek should be considered valid only if published through official accounts. Any information released by non-official or personal accounts does not represent DeepSeek's views, and users are advised to be discerning. To ensure that users can access authentic DeepSeek model services, the company provides download channels for its official website and official app, which are www.deepseek.com and "DeepSeek (DeepSeek-AI Intelligent Assistant)," respectively. They also emphasize that the official website and the official app do not contain any advertisements or paid items.
Furthermore, the company reminds users that aside from the official DeepSeek user communication group on WeChat, no other groups have been established on domestic platforms. Any claims of paid activities related to DeepSeek official groups are counterfeit, and users should carefully discern to avoid financial losses.
Hangzhou DeepSeek Company expresses gratitude for the continued support and concern from everyone. The company will strive to develop more innovative, professional, and efficient models and continue sharing with the open-source community. Additionally, the company will strengthen the management of official information release and service channels to provide users with safer and more reliable services.
