I tried out DeepSeek for some research I was doing. It still produces errors and hallucinations like all LLMs. Personally, I didn't find it performed any better than Mistral, with the exception that it accessed more recent data. The "thinking" dialog sounds a lot like an ADHD brain's "inner voice" with less repetition. It has a childlike quality to it thst's kinda cute.

One thing I found interesting is that, unlike other LLM models, when I raised a doubt over something it said it didn't just blindly accept that you're right (even if you were wrong), but instead reviewed it's sources and conclusions and in the end stuck by it.

Nice piece. Explained in a way an old man like me might learn more than 1/2 of what you conveyed.
