o3-mini is really good (but does it beat deepseek?)

I'm sure they've planned to make o3 more expensive, but they've had to come up with a cheaper pricing due to R1. I'm also sure Google wanted to increase their pricing of the experimental "thinking" Gemini Flash model once it comes out of the preview phase, but now they'll need to adjust as well. Thank you DeepSeek!

Theo to fix your issue with markdown OpenAI is looking for a key in the system message, this is from their new docs on reasoning models. "Markdown formatting: Starting with o1-2024-12-17, reasoning models in the API will avoid generating responses with markdown formatting. To signal to the model when you do want markdown formatting in the response, include the string Formatting re-enabled on the first line of your developer message."

App devs should send DeepSeek team a thank-you letter

The fact they dropped it so quickly tells you that OpenAI has had the ability to make great cheap models for awhile now but just didn't want to due to lack of competition.

DeepSeek helps US's people to bring the AI price down, that make closeAI follow up with. someday, closeAI maybe become the true OpenAI

This past week in the world of AI, is a great example of free market competition principles!

hey just a quick shout out to you guys the t3 chat is amazing, tried it for the first time today and responses were asap. Great work

“Two devs in a trenchcoat” is such good a way to describe early startups 😂

You're a legend for offering o3-mini on free tier, thanks so much for that!

The best thing about DeepSeek is that it looks like they've been able to do (at least to some degree) what the rest of the industry has been hounding OpenAI to do (unsuccessfully) forever: Reveal their chain-of-thought and go open source. They aren't doing either yet, but they are relaxing their "moat" a bit and giving more detailed, but still high level chain-of-thought and they are considering actually open sourcing some of their code.
