I don't get it. Why would DeepSeek supposedly get more downloads from the app store? It's not like it's any more interesting to consumers than other LLM apps. It was just notable for purportedly being cheaper to train. Something seems fishy.
It was a free o1/o3 equivalent at a time when there were only paid options. But in the short interim, Google's made their r model free to use.
*Plus, deepseek doesn't hide its internal monologue the way o1/o3 do. It's fun to watch it go back and forth with itself.
Lol have you not used o1/o3? They show the inner monologue too. Fun little pretend detail to keep you entertained while the model takes 30 seconds to respond.
o1/o3 use a smaller model to summarize the reasoning, but they don't show the actual CoT generation the way deepseek does.
Have you used it? It's a vastly superior model for just about everything I've used it for...
Uh...yes it's about the same, maybe slightly dumber than o3. Which is already mediocre.
Just for starters, its been in the news non-stop for weeks.
I see Tiktok in the news, never downloaded it. Does that make me special?
It makes you OLD
