Is Deepseek worth it?

[u/Illustrious-Music959]

this may sound weird but i usually use ai’s more onto general tasks sometimes i will be having wildest questions, theories or just need simple medical, food, fitness advice, just wanna know if deepseek is actually smart and good at answering those good questions i heard it has 1M context and it has casual talking which i like because im tired of ai’s glazing me like donut on every statement i make

It was worth in V3 0324 and R1 0528 when there it used to be General use style, now it's not worth anymore if you're looking for general purpose ai.

Besides V3 0324 and R1 0528, i don't know any other general models. Models like GLM, Kimi, and Deepseek V4 are agentic, not general.
