Why would DeepSeek supposedly get more downloads from the app store?
Just for starters, its been in the news non-stop for weeks.

I don’t get it. Why would DeepSeek supposedly get more downloads from the app store? It’s not like it’s any more interesting to consumers than other LLM apps. It was just notable for purportedly being cheaper to train. Something seems fishy.

I see Tiktok in the news, never downloaded it. Does that make me special?
It’s a free o1/o3 equivalent at a time when you’d have to pay otherwise. But in the short interim, Google’s made their r model free to use. And the distillations aren’t half bad.
Lol have you not used o1/o3? They show the inner monologue too. Fun little pretend detail to keep you entertained while the model takes 30 seconds to respond.
o1/o3 use a smaller model to summarize the reasoning, but they don’t show the actual CoT generation the way deepseek does.

Have you used it? It’s a vastly superior model for just about everything I’ve used it for…

Uh…no it’s about the same, maybe slightly dumber than o3. Which is already mediocre.
