DeepSeek V-3 and R1 models are now considered to be more powerful than its close competitors, ChatGPT and Claude 3.5 sonnet. With a significantly lower training cost, it’s ideal for tasks that require processing and reasoning. But what recently raised some questions and concerns about its regulations is that various users have tried to compare the ChatGPT and DeepSeek by questioning the same queries with a slightly political nature. When asked about some events that happened in China, DeepSeek politely refused to answer, while on the other side, ChatGPT displayed full details about that specific event.
Developed by Alibaba Cloud, the Qwen 2.5 model is the perfect tool that can handle complex reasoning tasks that require large amounts of data processing. Trained on 18 trillion tokes, this AI chatbot supports up to 72 billion parameters before answering the user’s request.
The performance of the Gemini 2.0 is remarkable because it integrates advanced multimodal capabilities which allow the chatbot to process and generate at the same time text and images. Gemini 2.0 is the best artificial intelligence model for tasks such as textual and visual data generation or for detailed data analysis with a context window of up to 1 million tokens.
