DeepSeek claims its Janus-Pro-7B outperforms existing models such as OpenAI's DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. In a bold move that mirrors its approach with DeepSeek-R1, the company has made Janus-Pro-7B free and open source.

DeepSeek says its updated text-to-image generator Janus pro-7B outperforms OpenAI's DALL-E 3 across multiple benchmarks.

The Chinese startup that has stunned Silicon Valley with its language models now boasts superior image generation and understanding.

DeepSeek just launched upgraded image models named Janus Pro, and it is set to compete with Stable Diffusion and Dall-E 3.

Now DeepSeek has released Janus Pro, an image generating model the company claims that has been engineered for versatility and efficiency. It is and advanced version based on the Janus model, released last year, that performs text-to-image creation that scales up the training data and increases the model size.

The Chinese startup has released an image-generation model called Janus-Pro, aiming to take on US rivals DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion. The multimodal model, which generates images from text prompts, is said to outperform competing services in areas such as image quality and accuracy.

DeepSeek, a China-based AI company that launched a chatbot that disrupted US tech stocks and App Store rankings, has launched an AI image generator just days after its chatbot went viral. Janus-Pro is a multi-modal image generator that DeepSeek says both understands and performs better than earlier models.
