Deepseek R1 is genuinely shockingly good. I hooked it up to the internet and it basically un-enshittified my search results, finding me many amazing products. It seems they hardcoded some sort of logic process of how to talk to someone and answer questions, and then it creates a lot of text for this hardcoded logic 'reasoning'. Then it does what LLMs do best, summarize all the key points of an article or text! It often is plagued by normal human perceptions - if you ask it to find a non-greenwashed product for example it will throw in 'sustainable' products like recycled polyester, which you know, no polyester is sustainable because it constantly sheds plastic into your lungs. But interestingly it does recommend specific products that aren't greenwashed (theyre actually green) by the company even though it recommends the whole company.

Also, by virtue of being able to run this locally, it fixes a lot of the social issues and environmental issues around AI. They also did it with a far lower budget and way less workers than ChatGPT or Meta. A+++ 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳
