Deepseek's Janis Pro

The introduction of DeepSeek Janus has generated significant interest and a wealth of commentary. Vedang Vatsa FRSA shared:

DeepSeek’s Janus-Pro-7B is here. Outperforms DALL-E 3 & Stable Diffusion on GenEval/DPG-Bench. Separates understanding/generation, scales data/models for stable image gen. Unified, flexible, cost-efficient. Open-source win!.

And, AI expert Huzaifa Shoukat posted:

DeepSeek's new Janus Pro model is impressive. It's a multimodal LLM that understands images and generates them too. The 1B model runs in the browser using WebGPU via Transformers.js.

DeepSeek is headquartered in Hangzhou, China and was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, who also launched the hedge fund backing DeepSeek.
