Is Deepseek Self Improving? Is Grok 3 Coming This Week? AI News for Jan 28.

Deepseek is still stealing all the headlines. In a blog post by Simon Willison it was reported that Deepseek was improving itself and achieving a 2x speed improvement. Deepseek was asked for recommendations to improve its own model and after some deep thinking it found some potential paths to success.

Is self improving AI here? Then Deepseek casually dropped another open source model, this this time a multimodal one. Not much is known yet, but the Janus Pro 7B might be about to shake up the text-to- image market for its next little trick.

Grok3 seems to be imminent. There were reports of it being seen ‘in the wild’. Although it’s not yet available to the public, it seems some users were able to get access to the model where the responses were shown as “sender: grok3”. It seems everyone is having to respond quickly to Deepseek.

It’s only Tuesday. This week is wild.
