DeepSeek New Model Rumors and Domestic LLM Landscape
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-19
Addressing recent rumors about a "gray release" for a new DeepSeek model (suspected codename: Fable), the author clarifies that this is not an official launch. The community suspects some providers might be quietly collecting data or testing unreleased models via API, complete with added safety guardrails. The author believes that if these providers mishandle the testing phase, they could deplete user trust, while Zhipu and Kimi are poised to capture more positive community sentiment during this time.
