as someone who has been using deepseek for the past few days, i can understand why the american market is worried about a competitor like deepseek. they are simply amazing at developing this ai with a much cheaper investment compared to what chatgpt or other big ai players have spent. deepseek is really shaking up the market with their platform and showing the world that AI technology can actually be developed better and at a much lower cost than what is currently available in the industry, and maybe this will change the direction of the ai industry in the future.
I'm more interested to know about this, as I tried it for a bit and uninstalled it because you can't talk to it to begin with. Can you upload pictures? Have you tried ChatGPT as well for comparison?
it's only text or text extracted from images for now, no voice talk or pictures.
i used chatgpt and deepseek, and they are not that different imo, although from the benchmarks i saw, deepseek is slightly better.
the reason deepseek is getting all this attention and caused a $1 trillion stock crash is because it's cheap to run, you can run it on a bunch of hardware, not just nvidia cards and it's open source (kinda).
if a company uses gpt-o1, they need to trust open ai with their data, and they are basicly just renting the AI. but now, they have the option to run a similarly performing model in-house for a fraction of what they would have paid open AI.
