Not sure what the fuss is. I tried Deepseek earlier today for the first time and it was even worse than o1 when it came to reasoning skills and following my requests for how I wanted to engage with it.
o1 at least gives it to me straight. When I ask it to engage in more back and forth before assuming what I'm after, it tends to follow through. Deepseek seemed immediately eager to (very slowly) feed me a bunch of made up information thinking that's what I wanted.
I feel as though a lot of people get hung up on these sort of "micro benchmarks" whereas trying to get practical work done is severely under tested. I'm not a fan of openai at all but I don't have the spare compute to run anything locally so o1 suffices for now.
Still don't see how this is anything but a win for Nvidia though.
