Chinese AI company DeepSeek has unveiled its new image generator, Janus-Pro-7B, which the developers claim outperforms OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion in multiple benchmark tests. This announcement follows the success of DeepSeek's free chatbot, which recently became the most downloaded app on Apple’s U.S. App Store.
What Makes Janus-Pro-7B Unique
Janus-Pro-7B can create and analyze images based on text descriptions, delivering realistic and high-quality results. The model was trained on 72 million high-quality synthetic images, significantly enhancing its ability to produce detailed and accurate visuals.
Additionally, the model is designed with energy efficiency in mind, making it more accessible and environmentally sustainable compared to its competitors. This focus on efficiency stems from DeepSeek's response to restrictions on AI chip imports to China, driving the company to optimize its resources.
Applications of Janus-Pro-7B
Janus-Pro-7B is versatile and can be applied across industries such as design, art, advertising, and healthcare. It enables professionals and enthusiasts to create complex visual compositions quickly and adapt them to specific client needs.

With the launch of Janus-Pro-7B, DeepSeek continues to strengthen its position in the global AI market, showcasing that innovation and resource optimization can be key drivers of success in a highly competitive industry.
