DeepSeek is an artificial intelligence developed in China and in a short time it began to be mentioned in the same league as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. The tool was developed by a startup founded by Liang Wenfeng. The most striking feature of DeepSeek is that its training cost is very low. Compared to the approximately 100 million dollars OpenAI spent to train artificial intelligence models, DeepSeek’s training cost only around 5.5 million dollars.
Despite this, DeepSeek’s performance is quite close to the GPT-4o level. Although it uses less computing power, it provides powerful results, especially in logical reasoning and coding. While it is at a similar level with US-based artificial intelligence in terms of response speed and privacy, it lags behind in terms of text writing quality. Despite this, the performance it offers means it is a much lower-cost option for users.
However, it is very important to know English in order to use DeepSeek efficiently. Because the system is not yet very strong in many languages. Although users can use these languages, the quality of the answers provided does not reach the level of ChatGPT.
For this reason, DeepSeek is seen as a very competitive artificial intelligence alternative, especially for low-budget projects or for users who speak English well.
