Hey humans, how are you guys doing. Well, in the world of AI there has been a wildcard entry of a new model, which is better or nearly same as the o1 model of ChatGPT, and it is already making chaos in the market, as well as in the industries.

So, without wasting much time let’s us start.

We will compare ChatGPT and DeepSeek on these of following basis;

However, before hoping on that let us know a small history on DeepSeek.

DeepSeek

DeepSeek is the name of the LLM model that is currently open-source and is developed by the Chinese Artificial Intelligence company named Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd. It was established in the year 2023, and its co-founder is Liang Wenfeng who is serving as the CEO of the company. The company’s headquarter is in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

DeepSeek had launched two of its best LLM model namely, V2 and V3 which were near to the model chatGPT-4o. However, in Jan 2025 they launched their new model, R1, which is giving a tough competition to chatGPT-o1 model as it is better than chatGPT-o1 or similar to chatGPT-o1.
