Deepseek (Chinese alternative to ChatGPT)

I had a chance to try out Deepseek (a Chinese alternative to ChatGPT) this weekend. And while it was very similar to ChatGPT, I was fairly impressed with it as a search engine. I haven't tried any other functionality.

https://chat.deepseek.com/

Has anyone had the chance to try it out?

Its really very amazing and true competitor of chatgpt. Its advanced AI insights or specialized problem-solving output makes it amazing and leading AI tool.

Good to hear, Kishan! Have you tried any of the coding functionalities? This is what I've seen most people raving about.

It would be great to find out how much experience you have of it.

Thanks.

Hi Bashir! We testing it, locally too.

Unfortunately right now is literally offline!

Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek's services, registration may be busy. Please wait and try again. Registered users can log in normally. Thank you for your understanding and support.

I will update my response when I have completed a deep use to the point of exposing it, but certainly now, I can affirm with certainty that it is a technology not to be avoided.

Just a "quick point" about:

  • User Input. When you use our Services, we may collect your text or audio input, prompt, uploaded files, feedback, chat history, or other content that you provide to our model and Services.

Hi Luca,

It's crazy what happened yesterday - Deepseek caused chaos on Wall Street for the US Tech stocks and then suffered a major hack.

I was planning on using it a lot this week, but my plans (like yours) will have to be 'put on hold' for now.

Let's see how the story develops - Things are happening so fast.

It conceals sensitive/ provide misleading information related to China/Hong Kong/Taiwan, and other aspects seem fine to use.  It will be a useful tool for general daily tasks and serves as an affordable alternative to OpenAI.

As someone familiar with the region where this AI was developed, I prefer to avoid sharing any sensitive information during chats.

Hello Sammy,

I always had a feeling that the 'acid test' would be the geopolitics, I agree, general inquiries will be great though. Just stay clear of 'sensitive' issues seems to be the course.

Bashir, you are the third person I've seen mention Deepseek in the last 24 hours. I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't heard of it prior to yesterday, but I will definitely be checking it out.

I found this thread on X really interesting. The author really broke it down in an easy way to understand – even for a layman like me.

Hi Brett,

What a crazy series of events - Just today, it has wiped billions of Dollars from US Tech stocks, has also been hacked and found itself the most downloaded App in the US.

Here's the news -

I was thinking on a fact. Post from 25 days ago.

How much has changed in "only" 25 days?

Grok3 for example, "Deepseek already seems like an old topic."

It's so true. Deepseek was the #1 story for a few days and now we're onto the next thing and the thing that came after that thing.

I have been using it from 27th Jan, and it is amazing,.

I wrote a code with chatgpt and it took 3 hours to verify 5k domains, and the same code written with deepseek got me 68K domain verified in 16 minutes

Hello Mehandi,

Wow, that is amazing. You saved almost 2 hours and 45 minutes and over 13 times the output.

Please let us know how your future testing/experimenting and benchmark comparisons between them goes? - I'm sure we will be fascinated by future results too.

Thanks again for these insights.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm curious if it replaces the new ChatGPT Canvas that helps you build apps. I think it's great to have healthy competition in this space especially with a free version!

Hi MaryAnn,

I'm not sure, but hopefully, after the service is reinstated, you can try it then, Perhaps wait for two to four weeks after the fallout or after things have settled down.
