DeepSeek and ChatGPT are advanced AI models that can understand and create text like humans. They have the same goal but come from different places and have different ways of working.
Development and Cost Efficiency
ChatGPT was made by OpenAI after a lot of research and money. DeepSeek, a Chinese company, did something similar but with much less money. DeepSeek’s model cost about $6 million and took 55 days with 2,000 GPUs. OpenAI’s GPT-4, on the other hand, cost around $100 million and needed more resources.
Performance and Accessibility
DeepSeek’s AI Assistant is very popular, even more than ChatGPT in the US. People say it gives good answers, sometimes better than ChatGPT. It’s also open-source, which means users can change it to fit their needs.
Censorship and Content Restrictions
DeepSeek has strict rules to follow Chinese laws, which means it blocks some topics. For example, it won’t talk about human rights or Taiwan. ChatGPT also has rules but gives answers on more topics without government limits.
Market Impact and Industry Perception
DeepSeek has changed the AI world, making everyone think about how to make AI better and cheaper. Its success shows that good AI can be made with less money and effort.
