Recent media reports suggesting that AI company DeepSeek might release its next-generation R2 model on March 17th sparked online discussions. However, DeepSeek officially clarified this rumor in user groups, stating that "the R2 release is false news."
DeepSeek officially addressed this false report through its corporate inquiry account. Although Reuters previously reported that three sources familiar with the matter revealed DeepSeek is accelerating the launch of the R2 model, originally planned for May, and is now striving for an earlier release. These sources indicated that the R2 model is expected to show significant improvements in code generation and multilingual reasoning capabilities.
Currently, DeepSeek has not officially announced the specific release date and technical details of R2.
