DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) lab, is getting ready to share some of its code with the public during an event called “open source week,” which will start next week.
What this means is that DeepSeek will make available five sets of coding resources, known as code repositories. These repositories include not only the actual code that was written but also important documents that explain how the code works and how it was set up. The company has assured that these parts have been thoroughly tested and used successfully in real-world applications.

DeepSeek believes in the idea of open-source development, which is when programmers and developers share their work with everyone rather than keeping it private. They think that by sharing even small pieces of their code, they can help everyone move forward together in innovation and technology. In their announcement, they mentioned that they want to promote a collaborative environment, emphasizing a down-to-earth approach rather than one that feels exclusive or out-of-reach.
This move comes as DeepSeek has been increasingly recognized for making its AI models available for others to use and adapt freely. Their efforts have caught the attention of major players in the AI field, including OpenAI, the organization known for creating ChatGPT. Recently, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, acknowledged that DeepSeek’s advancements have made their technology less dominant in the market. He also hinted that OpenAI might consider sharing more of its own technology in the future to keep up with the growing competition.
