Deepseek, a Chinese AI company, is launching a new project called “Deepseek Code” as a direct competitor to Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. This move comes after Deepseek previously introduced its own code assistant named “Code.” The new initiative involves building a dedicated team in Beijing with the goal of creating an AI agent that can operate independently of any existing models.
- The project is aimed at addressing gaps identified by users who currently rely on Claude Code, OpenAI’s Codex, and Cursor for code generation and completion tasks.
- Deepseek is hiring a product manager and a developer with expertise in tools like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and other AI-assisted coding platforms. These candidates are expected to have experience with agent loops, multi-agent systems, context engineering, and the ability to work with different “vibe coding” techniques.
- This new initiative positions Deepseek at the intersection of cutting-edge research in AI agents and practical product development, directly challenging established players like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex.
