Yeah, even the cherry picked examples they provide look only okay.

To be honest everything with this company feels like an ad campaign more than anything else.

So I’m still on the fence about the AI arms race in general. However, reading up on DeepSeek it feels like they built a model specifically to work well on the benchmarks.

I say this cause it’s a Mixture of Experts approach, so only parts of the model are used at any given point. The drawback is generalization.

Additionally, it isn’t a multimodal model and the only place I’ve seen real opportunity for workflows automation is using the multimodal models. I guess you could use a combination of models, but that’s definitely a step back from the grand promise of these foundational models.

Overall, I’m just not sure if this is lay people getting caught up in hype or actually a significant change in the landscape.
