DeepSeek's open-weight heavy hitter arrives just in time to be outclassed by both OpenAI and Anthropic
"Any task where the head-to-head numbers against Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 matter."
As Han Solo said, "Well, that's the real trick, isn't it? And it will cost you extra!"
Which it certainly will. Which is why I'll be using DeepSeek (or Kimi), not Anthropic or OpenAI.
Anyway, it's about damn time they dropped it. Been waiting it seems like ages.
Yeah, I think that's part of my disappointment, is the waiting. I know this is a strong model (especially for open weights), but the hype is hard to beat
