With the release of ChatGPT-5, the market's expectations for DeepSeek-R2 continue to rise. According to the latest news, DeepSeek-R2 is expected to be released between August 15 and August 30, 2025, but the exact date has not been officially announced. Recently, a reporter tried to ask DeepSeek to answer questions related to the release date, and the model also gave a more affirmative answer.
According to media reports, the upcoming rumors of DeepSeek-R2 seem to have had a direct impact on the stock market, especially during the morning session today, artificial intelligence concept stocks generally showed an upward trend. Among them, Daily Interactive performed particularly well, and its stock price soared 12% in the morning. Looking back at the beginning of the launch of DeepSeek-R1, Daily Interactive quickly climbed from about 18 yuan per share to more than 70 yuan per share, becoming the well-deserved leader in the DeepSeek concept stocks. Its re-rising reflects that the market has begun to take into account rumors of DeepSeek-R2 release.
It is worth mentioning that on August 11, DeepSeek's services, including API interfaces, web platforms and applications, all had problems such as inaccessibility or response. According to the analysis, this failure may be caused by peak flow shock. Currently, DeepSeek's user base has exceeded 110 million mark, and the server load exceeded the limit during peak hours, triggering the protection mechanism. Considering that the upcoming news of DeepSeek-R2 (performance benchmark GPT-5) is spreading on the Internet, it may prompt a large number of users to conduct centralized testing, increasing the pressure on the server.
