I don't get it. Why would DeepSeek supposedly get more downloads from the app store? It's not like it's any more interesting to consumers than other LLM apps. It was just notable for purportedly being cheaper to train. Something seems fishy.

    It was a free o1/o3 equivalent at a time when there were only paid options. But in the short interim, Google's made their r model free to use.

    *Plus, deepseek doesn't hide its internal monologue the way o1/o3 do. It's fun to watch it go back and forth with itself.
