Following the unveiling of ChatGPT-5, anticipation for the release of DeepSeek-R2 has been steadily rising in the market. Despite the absence of an official announcement, rumors suggest that DeepSeek-R2 is poised to hit the market between August 15 and 30, 2025. These rumors have been fueled by positive hints from the model regarding its impending launch. This news has sparked a general upswing in AI concept stocks, with Daily Interactive's share price surging by 12% at one point, mirroring the gains witnessed during the release of DeepSeek-R1. On August 11, users experienced access issues with DeepSeek's API interfaces, web platforms, and applications, which analysts attribute to server overload caused by a surge in traffic. With a user base now exceeding 110 million and the potential testing of the new version, DeepSeek's servers are under even greater strain.
