DeepSeek reopens access to its API

This TechCrunch Daily Crunch podcast covers three main news items: a DoorDash settlement for misusing customer tips, Sam Bankman-Fried's first public social media post from prison, and the reopening of DeepSeek's AI API after a three-week pause. The podcast also includes brief segments on a new Samsung phone and a podcast sponsorship. The DoorDash settlement involves $16.75 million and benefits 63,000 workers.
