AI Сhatbots are the trend of the last few years. They help us write, research, and automate everyday tasks.
But when it comes to choosing the best of them, recent debate has centered on DeepSeek and ChatGPT.
Both are powerful artificial intelligence models, but they are designed for different needs.
So which one is the best? Let's quickly break it down.
What sets DeepSeek and ChatGPT apart?
1. DeepSeek, developed in China, is built for efficiency and accuracy. It operates based on the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, meaning it activates only the relevant AI components for each task, making it faster and more efficient in specific areas such as:
✔ Coding & Debugging – Finds bugs and suggests precise solutions.
✔ Scientific Research – Great for analyzing data and technical content.
✔ Education & Learning – Acts as a personal tutor in specialized fields.
Key Advantage: It’s free and open-source, making it a great option for developers and researchers.
2. ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a widely-used AI assistant known for its:
✔ Creative Writing – Blogs, emails, scripts, and storytelling.
✔ Conversational AI – Natural, engaging responses across various topics.
✔ Multi-Language Support – Works well for non-English users.
Key Advantage: It’s easy to use, intuitive, and widely accessible, with both free and premium (ChatGPT Plus) options.
Nevertheless, DeepSeek has become highly debated because it is indeed ahead of current AI models, and on top of that - it is completely free, for now.
Also worth mentioning that even Donald Trump recently referenced DeepSeek in his speech, expressing concerns about its competitive threat to U.S. - developed AI.
The Washington Post writes: “President Donald Trump said late Monday that DeepSeek's release ‘should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win.’”
Why DeepSeek chose the right path: Simplicity or contrivance?
At first glance, DeepSeek will seem familiar to anyone who has used ChatGPT. Most of the space is devoted to the text field, creating a one-on-one atmosphere with the AI chat.
The model easily handles basic chatbot tasks: planning vacation itineraries, creating tasks lists, making a workout routine or compiling shopping list
DeepSeek, when faced with a difficult question “ponders” or “thinks through” the problem, displaying its reflections in real-time so that the users stay in context
Business Insider has noted this feature, describing DeepSeek's AI chatbot as impressive so far.
Today, it can do all the same things as ChatGPT while remaining completely free. For most people who don't require deep AI customization this can be a definite advantage.
The system is as follows:
1. Run the AI
2. Ask a question
3. Get an answer
In contrast, many modern AI models have overly complex systems:
1. Go to the site
2. Find the registration button
3. Navigate multiple menus
4. Figure out the interface
5. Get several answers.
Does that sound like something you'd like to do?
I think not. After all, the main purpose of using AI is to simplify human tasks - DeepSeek, by the way, manages it well :)

Conclusion: Which is better?
If you need AI for technical work: coding, research, structured data analysis, go with DeepSeek. It offers these capabilities for free, while similar features in ChatGPT require a paid subscription.
If you need an AI assistant for writing, casual chat, and brainstorming, ChatGPT has proven strengths.
One final thought: AI technology is evolving rapidly. Instead of limiting yourself to one platform, why not use DeepSeek for technical tasks and ChatGPT for creative work?
