what's your PC specs? got powerful GPU?
DeepSeek’s lightweight version is so efficient it can even run on your smartwatch, though you’ll need stronger hardware for the full setup.
It’s way cheaper to build.
Training DeepSeek-V3 cost about 5.58million ,while ChatGPT spent over 100 million.
Performance-wise, is comparable to Chatgpt's current leading o1.
Deepseek has more features as it is plugged to the internet for real time data.
You can also see how it reasons with itself before answering.
DeepSeek is open-source, so anyone can tweak or run it locally.
ChatGPT stays locked behind OpenAI’s system.
Training methods also differ. DeepSeek starts by learning through rewards (like teaching a kid with treats), then fine-tunes with data. ChatGPT does the opposite—fine-tunes first and only added rewards in later versions like GPT-4 o3.
Basically, DeepSeek’s the underdog that’s faster, cheaper, and more transparent. I'm already using Deepseek more than Chatgpt.
I think installing them on your pc is not worth the trouble, every 3 months there will be a new update.
This is good news as Chatgpt was too comfortable being the best AI for so long, price hikes were expected for their newer models. Especially when have have spent so much money, their revenue still can't break even their expenditure.
With Deepseek's Open Source success many countries will be inspired to make their own AI than to depend solely on Chatgpt.
