Frequently asked
How can I tell if DeepSeek is down?
AIDownCheck reads DeepSeek's official status feed and runs an independent check from our own servers every minute, then combines them into a confidence-rated verdict. We also watch the AI tools built on DeepSeek: if several degrade together while DeepSeek's status page is still green, that's an early signal of an upstream incident.
What breaks when DeepSeek goes down?
We track 6 AI tools that depend on DeepSeek. See the full blast-radius view on our "what breaks when DeepSeek goes down" page.
How much of the AI ecosystem depends on DeepSeek?
About 27% of the AI tools we track depend on DeepSeek (by tool count — we don't estimate user-base sizes). That concentration is why a single DeepSeek incident can ripple across many products at once.
Is AIDownCheck affiliated with DeepSeek?
No. AIDownCheck is an independent status monitor. We combine DeepSeek's official status with neutral third-party checks, and our dependency data is curated from public sources.
