PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Stability of large-model services is becoming a hidden threshold in user selection. This DeepSeek outage, lasting over 50 minutes, poses a direct business risk to developers and products that rely on its API. The official response speed is acceptable, but frequent failures will erode enterprise customer trust; heavy users are advised to build multi-model redundancy in advance.
