DEEPSEEK DEBUTS OPEN-SOURCE AI MODEL JANUS-PRO-7B

Chinese AI firm DeepSeek unveiled on Monday its open-source AI model, Janus-Pro-7B, which allegedly surpasses both Stable Diffusion and OpenAI's DALL-E 3 in terms of image creation capabilities.

"Janus-Pro is a novel autoregressive framework that unifies multimodal understanding and generation. It addresses the limitations of previous approaches by decoupling visual encoding into separate pathways, while still utilizing a single, unified transformer architecture for processing," the company said on Monday. "Janus-Pro surpasses previous unified model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models."
