A DeepSeek, Chinese artificial intelligence startup, launched the Janus-Pro-7B, a model ofAI image generationthat, according to the company, It surpasses Western competitors such as theFROM-E 3, from OpenAI, and theStable Diffusion, from Stability AI. The announcement marks a new chapter in the dispute between China and Silicon Valley for the dominance of generative artificial intelligence.
To Rafael Franco, CEO of Alphacode, application company headquartered in São Paulo, Curitiba (PR) and Orlando (FL-USA) is responsible for large-scale projects such as Habib's Groups, Madero and China In Box among others this advance reinforces the growing impact of Chinese AI on the market. “Generative artificial intelligence has become one of the pillars of technological innovation, And China's growth in this sector signals a future where the diversity of solutions will be even greater.. This means that companies need to adapt quickly to integrate these new tools efficiently and strategically.“, analysis
According to internal benchmarks, The Janus-Pro-7B has reached 84,2% accuracy in the DPG-Bench, one of the main evaluation tests for imaging models, exceeding the performance of the DALL-E 3. Furthermore, The model was trained with more than90 million samples, combining real and synthetic data to improve the visual quality of the images generated. DeepSeek also made the model available on1 billion and 7 billion parameter versions, allowing greater flexibility for developers and companies wishing to implement the technology
The launch comes at a time of accelerated growth in Chinese AI., driven by massive investments from giants likeThe Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba. These companies compete directly with Western references such asOpenAI, Google DeepMind and Stability AI, Transforming the global market. A expansion of open-source technologydeveloped in China has also been a relevant factor, making access to advanced models more democratic and accessible
DeepSeek had already been gaining prominence in the artificial intelligence sector.. Recently, yourassistant based on the DeepSeek-V3 model has become the most downloaded free app on the US App Store, overcoming the ChatGPT itself. This growth reflects the public's interest in alternatives to technology developed in the West and strengthens China's presence in the global AI race.
For users, competition between industry giants meanswider range of solutions, better quality and reduced costs. The advancement of models such as the Janus-Pro-7B can drive new opportunities forcontent creators, designers, advertisers and companiesthat rely on high-quality AI-generated images
Franco points out that this dispute also brings challenges for companies that develop and integrate artificial intelligence. The big difference will be in the ability to adapt. More efficient and affordable models open up new possibilities, But they require companies to know how to use these technologies to generate real value for users and businesses., concludes
