Summary
- ChatGPT remains the most popular AI chatbot, however, some users are moving to DeepSeek, its newest direct competitor
- DeepSeek is free and offers access to its best models, whereas ChatGPT has a paid tier
- DeepSeek is almost open-source, allowing users to access and alter its training parameters (weights)
- It can be run locally, minimising frustration with online AI chatbots’ dependence on an internet connection and providing consistent availability
- It reveals more of its thought process, making it easier to identify flaws in the model’s reasoning and optimise prompts further
- Overall, whilst ChatGPT still retains a first-mover advantage, DeepSeek is an excellent, cost-free alternative, exposing some of its internal workings, and providing more transparency in its reasoning processes.
