DeepSeek vs ChatGPT: Which One is Better?
In the last two years, AI has changed a lot, and ChatGPT has been a big part of that. It’s helped people with writing, coding, and answering questions. But now, there’s a new AI called DeepSeek AI. It’s from China, and people say it can beat ChatGPT. So, I decided to test both and see which one is better.

What is ChatGPT and DeepSeek AI?
ChatGPT is made by OpenAI, and it’s really popular. It can write articles, solve problems, and even help with coding. But DeepSeek AI is new, and it’s getting a lot of attention. People say it’s cheaper and works better than ChatGPT in some cases. So, I wanted to see if that’s true.
Testing ChatGPT and DeepSeek AI
I tested both tools on different tasks like writing, coding, and solving math problems. Here’s what happened:
1. Writing an Article About World War II

First, I asked both tools to write an article about World War II. ChatGPT wrote a good article. It talked about the causes, major events, and the human cost of the war. It was short and clear.
DeepSeek AI did something different. Before writing the article, it explained its thoughts. I liked that because it showed how it was thinking. The article was longer and included more details like the Holocaust, technological changes, and the post-war world. DeepSeek’s article was better in this case.
2. Writing About President Trump’s Inauguration

I asked both tools to write about President Trump’s inauguration. DeepSeek AI didn’t do well here. It talked about the 2017 inauguration and repeated the words “the person” over and over. It was a big fail.
ChatGPT did better. It also wrote about the 2017 event, but the article was more detailed and made sense. ChatGPT wins this round.
3. Coding: Making a Tool to Transcribe YouTube Videos
Then, I asked both tools to write Python code for a tool that transcribes YouTube videos. ChatGPT gave me the code and explained how to use it. It also talked about the API and other steps. It was very helpful.
DeepSeek AI also gave me the code, but it did something extra. Before writing the code, it explained its thoughts. It even fixed my spelling mistakes to make sure it understood me. The code was good, and it included setup instructions. DeepSeek did a great job here.
4. Solving a Math Problem
Finally, I tested both tools on a math problem. ChatGPT solved it and showed the steps. It was easy to follow.
DeepSeek AI also solved the problem correctly and explained the steps. But it doesn’t let you upload documents yet, which is a downside.
Which One is Better?
After testing both tools, here’s what I think:
- DeepSeek AI is good at giving detailed answers and explaining its thoughts. It’s also cheaper.
- ChatGPT is still great for writing and solving problems. It also has extra features like making images and sending voice messages.
- If you want both, you can use Abacus AI’s ChatLLM Team. It lets you use ChatGPT, DeepSeek AI, and even make images and videos for $10 a month.
Final Thoughts
DeepSeek AI is a strong competitor to ChatGPT. It’s cheaper and sometimes works better. But ChatGPT still has some cool features that DeepSeek doesn’t. Both tools are good, and it depends on what you need.
