DeepSeek chat services hit by outage, restored after brief fix

For an AI model that has become a reference point in crypto and RWA circles for cost-efficient inference, a roughly two-hour disruption is less about the outage itself than about what it implies for teams building on hosted APIs. The recurring failure after an initial fix points to capacity strain rather than a one-off bug, which matters for anyone treating a single provider as production infrastructure. Whether this becomes a pattern as usage grows is the open question.
