Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek is preparing to release a new AI model by the end of 2025. The model is being positioned as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s GPT-5, with a particular emphasis on enhanced agent features and adaptive learning.

According to people familiar with the project, the upcoming DeepSeek model is designed to carry out multi-step tasks on behalf of users with minimal direction. Unlike conventional systems that rely on frequent prompts, this model is being developed to operate more autonomously, enabling smoother interactions and reducing user effort.

A distinguishing factor is the model’s planned ability to learn and adapt from its own past actions. This adaptive mechanism is expected to improve the AI’s efficiency over time, allowing it to refine how it completes assignments and respond more effectively to different contexts. Such a feature represents a notable shift from static AI systems, potentially setting a new standard in real-world usability.
