DeepSeek RSI Encyclopedia · Lab # DeepSeek DeepSeek is a Chinese SI developer that makes the DeepSeek models. Its Containment Board grade is **F** (GPA 0.34), rank 11 of 11. Overall grade : F Board rank : 11 of 11 Models listed : 3 Rogue Log cases : 3 ## The lab DeepSeek is a Chinese SI developer that makes the DeepSeek models. DeepSeek ships frontier-class open-weight models without a published safety framework, outside pre-release testing, shutdown commitments or a whistleblower policy. Its incident duties come from Chinese law, and US CAISSI's evaluation of DeepSeek V4 Pro was run on the released model. ## Safety grades On the Containment Board DeepSeek gets **F overall** (GPA 0.34), rank 11 of 11.
