DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup, has temporarily halted API service top-ups due to server resource constraints, according to a notice on its website on Thursday.
The suspension affects a platform that enables developers of other models to integrate DeepSeek’s AI technology.
Over the past two weeks, the company has struggled with server issues as a surge in global demand has driven unprecedented traffic to its systems.
DeepSeek has not provided a timeline for the resumption of service top-ups but assured users that it is working to resolve the issue.
