ChatGPT vs. DeepSeek: A Comparative Analysis of Power, Privacy and Flexibility in AI

Summary

In today’s artificial intelligence landscape, DeepSeek and ChatGPT present notable differences in terms of price and accessibility. DeepSeek-R1 distinguishes itself as an open source model that competes directly with closed commercial models such as GPT-4o1 . While ChatGPT requires a $200 monthly subscription to access its advanced capabilities, DeepSeek offers its capabilities for free and allows developers and researchers to examine, modify and improve its code base. This openness not only reduces operational costs for end users, but also drives innovation in areas such as software engineering and algorithm development. DeepSeek-V3 maintains competitive performance in programming and mathematical tasks, setting new standards for open source models, representing a viable and cost-effective alternative to proprietary solutions.

This paper presents a detailed analysis comparing two artificial intelligence systems: ChatGPT and DeepSeek, with special focus on their technical capabilities, privacy features and adaptability. DeepSeek-V3 is positioned as the best performing open source model, competing directly with closed models such as GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet (DeepSeek-AI, 2023). The study examines performance in multiple key areas:- Language comprehension: DeepSeek-V3 shows outstanding results in MMLU and GPQA-Diamond tests- Extensive context processing: It achieves remarkable results in DROP and FRAMES evaluations- Programming: Excels in algorithmic tasks such as HumanEval and LiveCodeBench- Mathematics: sets new standards in tests such as AIME and MATH-500The research also addresses fundamental aspects of privacy and data protection, including filtering and access control measures (Zabay & Casado, 2023). This comparative analysis provides a comprehensive perspective on the current capabilities of both systems and their practical application in various fields.
