DeepSeek says its newest AI model, Janus-Pro can outperform Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 3.

Already riding a wave of hype over its R1 “reasoning” AI that is atop the app store charts and shifting the stock market, Chinese startup DeepSeek has released another new open-source AI model: Janus-Pro.

Input image analysis is limited to 384x384 resolution, but the company says the largest version, Janus-Pro-7b, beat comparable models on two AI benchmark tests.

Correction: As TechCrunch notes, Janus-Pro image input is listed as limited to low resolution, not its output.
