Ive tried DeepSeek, it’s not even that good. ChatGPT, Google, and even Grok are better and offer more features, like image generation and web search, while DeepSeek only has chat (and reasoning, but all the others have that too now).
The only thing DeepSeek has going for it is that they released their models for free so you can run them on your own hardware if you want.
Deepseek is much better than anything else I've ran. It has an inner monolog which allows it to solve more complex problems.
ChatGPT and Grok have that too now. It’s called “Reason” (ChatGPT) or “Think” (Grok).
You can't run those locally though so that doesn't natter much
I guess I forgot what community I'm in 🤦♂️
All good
that's a big fucking benefit though
You mean being able to run them locally? Sure, if you got the hardware to do it. The full size model is a whopping 404 GB, good luck running that on consumer hardware.
I run the 16b version. It works fine on my laptop on the CPU.
Sure, that’ll work. It’s just not as smart as the full version.
