DeepSeek's neural network has encountered an issue.
At 17:55 MSK on August 20, 2025, DeepSeek, a popular neuro network, reported 1,629 user issues in the last hour, according to recent data. In the past hour, 21% of these issues were related to the mobile app, while 67% were website-related. Furthermore, 3% of the issues involved notification problems, and a mere 7% were general outages affecting both the mobile app and browser version. Less than 1% of the reported issues were related to personal cabinet issues.
Since its launch in 2025, DeepSeek has faced several outages, including a major service disruption on August 11 when both its website and API service were affected. However, these services have been gradually recovering since then.
Recent outages have resulted in web and API services being degraded or completely unavailable for varying short durations, often marked as warnings or down status on official monitoring platforms. The specific causes of these outages include performance degradation and service unavailability, with some issues attributed to heavy traffic load causing "server busy" errors.
As of the latest updates on August 20, 2025, the major outage from August 11 is recovering, and no active issues are currently reported.
Regarding regional outage impacts, the search results do not provide detailed information specific to regions such as Saint Petersburg, Zabaykalsky Krai, Magadan Oblast, Tver Oblast, or Novosibirsk Oblast. No region-specific user reports or complaints are documented in the available data.
There are no references or credible reports in the search results regarding any allegations of DeepSeek collaborating with Chinese military or intelligence services. Such claims, if any exist, are not reflected in authoritative outage or news monitoring sources as of August 2025.
- The complexity of the reported issues with DeepSeek, a popular neuro network, includes technology-related problems such as server performance degradation and service unavailability, which have been attributed to artificial-intelligence-based systems like DeepSeek.
- The recovery of DeepSeek's services, following the August 11 major outage, demonstrates the advancement in artificial-intelligence and technology, having a significant impact on user experience and helping DeepSeek to deliver its services more efficiently.
