Yes I use it from time to time, in my repertoire of LLMs. I do not use the app, yet (just like i don't use tiktok), but maybe I will. I know it has limitations around chinese history, but know your LLM masters. It can be hooked into Cursor, as a model. I believe overall, its a good thing, to have more LLMs, and if they really did train it so cheaply, we are going to have an explosion of models, which can only be a good thing. Cheaper = good for us, the end user (and the app developers). And google is responding with gemini already, so the tl;dr is yes, use everything, and competition is awesome.

Has anyone been playing with DeepSeek yet? The Chinese AI model that is apparently pretty advanced and dirt cheap to use compared to OpenAI?
What are the pros and cons?
I’ve only seen it mentioned a lot online, I haven’t checked it out yet myself. (Working only on my marketing site redesign at the moment)
Our entire team of 40+ at Raftlabs switched to Deepseek.
Most of them switched from Cursor & Windsurf.
