DeepSeek Restores Web and API Services After Partial Outage

Service reliability is becoming a competitive front in AI infrastructure, and a partial outage at DeepSeek lands at an awkward moment: the company says the fix is in but performance on its V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash models remains degraded, meaning developers building on the API still face inconsistent behavior even after the headline repair. The affected group is less the casual chat user than teams whose products depend on stable API throughput. The open question is how quickly performance on those models normalizes and whether the monitoring phase surfaces further instability.
