Question to the participants - how many of you have switched to a Chinese copy of GPT chat , or are you using tried and trusted solutions that you can trust ?
My one week experience with DeepSeek did not give me any visible advantages of this system over others, but definitely showed its disadvantages.
Tested a areas of IT from administration and system configuration to development.
tried deepseek, not impressed mainly because it's hard to set up and although their AI chat is free, it has a T&C that you need to agree on where they'd collect your data for training purpose and probably for other things.
but since grok comes out with its reasoning model as well as deep search I didn't really use deepseek anymore, also claude just come up with reasoning model in version 3.7
pretty much deepseek already outdated after just few months, the AI scene is crazy.
in my opinion, such overblown news that deepseek burst the US tech bubbles, meanwhile reasoning models require a lot more compute than ever before and that means US company like NVIDIA just getting higher potential to produce more powerful GPU to appease the AI market.
claude is almost a perfect tool and assistant for me. By the way, that's how AI should be evaluated and used, not as a competitor and potential enemy

That's why I found DeepSeek's attempt to “pumppa” questionable, and when the details of where they took the primary prepared data came up, plus it turned out that the calculations of the computational power consumed, to put it mildly, do not correspond to reality, I just smiled and passed by, in the direction of really high quality products.
