Over the last 7 days, DeepSeek has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~181 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-05-08 09:32 UTC and lasted 33m (severity: down).
DeepSeek develops open-weight reasoning and coding models, offered through a chat app and an OpenAI-compatible API. Its capacity has historically been the constraint, so problems typically appear as requests queueing, the API returning server-busy errors, or web chat losing a response partway through generation while sign-in continues to work.
