DeepSeek just insisted it’s ChatGPT, and I think that’s all the proof I need

DeepSeek, on the other hand, responded with just one idea – “Luna and the Boy Who Chased the Stars”. Its response was 387 words (with no mention of anyone or thing called “Luna”), and comprised a story about a curious boy called Milo who lived on the moon. Its detailed blog post briefly and accurately went into the careers of all the players.

How do you use DeepSeek?

Google’s Gemini assistant gave a similar synopsis to ChatGPT and DeepSeek, and also gave the user the opportunity to click on links from reputable sources such as the Imperial War Museum in the UK. None of these stories are going to challenge Harry Potter or Roald Dahl any time soon, but it is a start for more refined ideas to flourish perhaps. I asked ChatGPT and DeepSeek to give me “ideas for a story for children about a boy who lives on the moon”. ChatGPT’s answer to the same question contained many of the same names, with “King Kenny” once again at the top of the list.

What impact has DeepSeek had?

• Industry titans have described it as a wake-up call for the West.
• This approach, according to its founder, has been key to the company’s growth and innovation.
• It helpfully summarised which position the players played in, their clubs, and a brief list of their achievements.
• Unlike AI that identifies patterns in data to generate content, like images or text, reasoning systems focus on complex decision-making and logic-based tasks.
• From gathering and summarising information in a helpful format to even writing blog posts on a topic, ChatGPT has become an AI companion for many across different workplaces.
• It means that anyone with the right expertise can now use DeepSeek’s models to create their own products or conduct research.

For its subsequent blog post, it did go into detail of Laudrup’s nationality before giving a succinct account of the careers of the players. From gathering and summarising information in a helpful format to even writing blog posts on a topic, ChatGPT has become an AI companion for many across different workplaces. There’s also the option to enable DeepSeek’s R1 reasoning system. Unlike AI that identifies patterns in data to generate content, like images or text, reasoning systems focus on complex decision-making and logic-based tasks. They excel at problem-solving, answering open-ended questions, and handling situations that require a step-by-step chain of thought, making them better suited for trickier tasks like solving maths problems.

• One was about a boy called Max who worked as a postman on the moon and was sent on an adventure.
• On the other hand, the models DeepSeek has built are impressive, and some, including Microsoft, are already planning to include them in their own AI offerings.
• Its detailed blog post briefly and accurately went into the careers of all the players.
• The sell-off sparked a trillion-dollar wipeout, according to Bloomberg, hitting US and European chipmakers, AI companies, and energy firms the hardest.
• Very few in the tech community trust DeepSeek’s apps on smartphones because there is no way to know if China is looking at all that prompt data.

The emergence of Chinese AI app DeepSeek has shocked financial markets, and prompted US President Donald Trump to describe it as “a wake-up call” for the US tech industry. Mentioning Baseball-Reference simulations or FanGraphs projections helps ground predictions in established frameworks, rather than pure speculation. DeepSeek doubled down on Los Angeles with a 23% probability, but noted the Dodgers might be riding too much positive sentiment. Despite favoring LA to win, the model said it would rather bet on the Phillies because the risk-to-reward ratio was more compelling. Rather than focusing on years of experience, the company prioritises raw talent, with many of its developers being recent graduates or newcomers to the AI field. This approach, according to its founder, has been key to the company’s growth and innovation.

As restrictions from the Biden administration started to bite, the Chinese firm was forced to get resourceful, building its models with fewer and far less powerful Nvidia AI chips. Very few in the tech community trust DeepSeek’s apps on smartphones because there is no way to know if China is looking at all that prompt data. On the other hand, the models DeepSeek has built are impressive, and some, including Microsoft, are already planning to include them in their own AI offerings. DeepSeek’s claim that its R1 artificial intelligence (AI) model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals has raised questions about the future about of the whole industry, and caused some the world’s biggest companies to sink in value. DeepSeek’s account was not as detailed, but its brief overview did cover all the main points and events. The emergence of advanced AI models has made a difference to people who code.

DeepSeek vs ChatGPT – how do they compare?

By sharing the underlying code with the wider tech community, the company is allowing other businesses, developers, and researchers to access and build upon it. It means that anyone with the right expertise can now use DeepSeek’s models to create their own products or conduct research. Notably, DeepSeek achieved all this under the constraints of strict US export controls on advanced computing tech in China.

Interestingly, it gave the Tigers a razor-thin edge over the Dodgers—less than one percentage point separated their odds. Grok’s predictions are certainly in line with other major platforms, including ESPN BET, which shows the Dodgers sitting at +225 as the MLB season approaches the All-Star break. The Detroit Tigers (+750), who are running away with the AL Central, have emerged as a dark horse contender with baseball’s best record at 59-35. Mr Liang has credited the company’s success to its fresh-faced team of engineers and researchers. DeepSeek is an AI start-up that was spun off from a Chinese hedge fund called High Flyer-Quant by its manager, Liang Wenfeng, according to local media.

The tasks I set the chatbots were simple but they point to something much more significant – the winner of the so-called AI race is far from decided. How would the chatbots deal with explaining such a complex and nuanced piece of history? ChatGPT responded in seconds with six neatly summarised ideas. One was about a boy called Max who worked as a postman on the moon and was sent on an adventure.

He also pointed out that for coders, the combination of models can lead to success. This was echoed by Addy Osmani, who is the Head of Chrome Developer Experience at Google. When ChatGPT experienced an outage last week, X had a number of amusing posts from developers saying they couldn’t do their work without the faithful tool by their side. DeepSeek responded in seconds, with a top ten list – Kenny Dalglish of Liverpool and Celtic was number one. It helpfully summarised which position the players played in, their clubs, and a brief list of their achievements.
