Thanks for saying this, I thought I was insane, DeepSeek is kinda bad. I guess it’s impressive all things considered but in absolute terms it’s not great.
I have run personal tests and the results are at least as good as I get from OpenAI. Smarter people have also reached the same conclusion. Of course you can find contrary datapoints, but it doesn't change the big picture.
To be fair, it's amazing by the standards of six months ago. The only models that beat it are o1, the latest gemini models and (for some things) sonnet 3.6
