My Experience with DeepSeek‑R1 for Daily Research: Non-technical side
Team Discussion on DeeSeek core strengths and flaws 

DeepSeek, a challenger to OpenAI GPT, is among the top tier of AI models today. The model is enhancing its capabilities daily, giving tough times to its other competitors. None of the AI models released till now have shaken the AI landscape as DeepSeek R1 did. R1 is the latest smartest version of the company that is eligible for high-efficiency work. From simple to complex tasks, such as tasking or programming, the tool is a master performer. Using DeepSeek for consecutive 30 days is somehow both an interesting and a little distressing experience because of both its prominent and struggling sides. How is this highly emerging model, especially R1, better than others, and how is it lagging in some areas? This deep dive will trace back my experience with DeepSeek as a tool for logic and not a tool for creativity, a tool for research, but not for 100% correct facts.




Let's explore the best and dustiest side of the R1 model. Why did this model create a hype? Is this tool worth using? Why use DeepSeek and why not? Is it more suitable for everyday use?

My hands-on DeeSeek: Day 1 to Day 30 with DeepSeek

The 30-day experience with DeepSeek, i.e, from simple tasking of content creation to checking it with office colleagues like programmers and marketers, is how they rated the tool. Because DeepSeek is a big tier company competitor, they likely answered comparatively to the GPT model, a high-performance pioneer of AI to date.

Notes and Exploration: Edge and Performance Lagging


The tool DeepSeek by the parent company High-Flyer is really flying higher than the models of the time. Our professional experience proved that the tool is a blend for many complex problem solutions.


  1. Customization: Although we didn't check for the customization features of the tool. But shortly, we will explore this side of DeepSeek. (To be explored)
  2. Reasoning Model: DeepSeek seeks real-time logical reasons for supporting arguments. The model can elaborate logic, mathematics, and calculus with an argumentative angle. A logic winner prize goes to this high-flying performance tool, and this is a noteworthy side of the tool. 
  3. Open Source Edge: Many team developers and Influencers rated this tool for open source edge over others. This transparent side of the tool will catch businesses for its customization purposes.

On the other side, the developers and Influencers talk about the downsides of DeeSeek. Or maybe not downsides, but imperfect sides of the tool.


  1. Creativity: Although users want an all-in-one solution like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, as the name suggests, is for deep solutions and not for creative, emotional things.
  2. Double-check of facts: Although it's the same for every AI tool, DeepSeek is mostly used by researchers, so the facts need to be checked twice, each time while researching. This might not be a downside, but we want everything to be perfect, and AI isn't when it comes to 100% accuracy. ⚠️The tool also generates too many unnecessary symbol marks with the content. But that said, prompt instructions can help prevent this issue.
  3. Memory retention/ Time taking: Although the performance is enough, it's not outstanding compared to other speedy response models.

In a use case of the tool, the tool refused to remember anything about the context of progressive chatting.


Pin Points:

  • Every AI tool in the market is suitable for certain purposes. DeepSeek for Logic, GPT for creativity. It depends on the specific purpose for which the tool was designed.
  • Tools are speedy, but no tool can perform accurately like humans.
  • Every tool has certain strengths and performance lagging
  • No tool is 100% dependable 

The above exploration in the table elaborates the findings we caught during the 30 days of using the tool for tasks, such as content creation, making things short but still effective. The programming side of DeepSeek was explored by an expert office colleague, and they rated the tool accordingly. The overall remarks of the team were the recommendation of blending the tool with others to make the response logical, interesting, and full of authenticity, which is the same for soloprenuer and large business teams.

Why did this model create a hype?

Three of the main reasons for the modal hype are;


Open-Source Transparency & Performance: This was first in effect in the Artificial Intelligence market, where the company allowed the source code for others to customize the tool for solo and business purposes.


Rapid Innovation from China’s AI Ecosystem: This breakthrough innovation was unexpected outside the USA. China became the Asian giant of the AI market and shocked the other chip markets like that of NVIDIA'S and other AI chip producers.


Strong Coding & Reasoning Abilities: This model was effective in coding skills. This tool moved and shifted the AI model market to acquire new capabilities in an accessible and cheap way.


The R1 model from the beginning is/was a hallmark of unique task performance for individuals and businesses. The model is cheap, effective, efficient, and reliable, especially for researchers. Making the above breakthrough features of the tool leads to noteworthy achievements in the industry, resulting in the hype of the R1 model.


Is this tool worth using?


A big yes!!! DeepSeek gives you a dynamic experience for a range of engagements, either personal or professional. However, it's mostly designed for professional use. Whether you are a soloprenuer or a team, this high flyer will serve and uphold you in your work efficiency and quality. No limitations of the R1 are there, so any professional researching, tutoring, data sets analysis, and more things can be easily done with simple prompt commands.

Is it a better suit for everyday use?


The question depends on your purpose of use, for example, DeepSeek gives an unmatched performance for professional growth 📈. While as for personal instances, ChatGPT has no parallel. Although GPT is giving a tough time in professional areas as well.

For daily professional use, yes, it suits every professional case except for multilingual solutions like translation.


Blending Tools: Strategic ideal output

Blending prompts from the change-making models of the time, i.e, ChatGPT and DeeSseek, will be an ideal automation for both business and individuals. Human-like prompts generated with ChatGPT will make DeepSeek search new and deeper to the threshold of its power, and likewise, ChatGPT can blend, comment, and provide feedback on the content from DeepSeek. The DeepSeek logical data production used by ChatGPT will make things nostalgic for your automation. We personally use the blend of the tools for better logic and new creativity. The rare contradiction of the data between these two models enables us to generate factual results. Magic is done by blending Top Tier Models!

DeepSeek + ChatGPT + xyz model:

Now this combination will be worth using for small enterprises and individuals. This will polish the output like using ChatGPT for feedback, DeepSeek for in-depth research, and for more accuracy, using paid websites for high research accuracy. An ideal blended output from the AI-powered tools that makes things classic, easy, and effective at the same time.

Conclusion: Is DeepSeek‑R1 Worth Adopting for Your Research or Automation Flow?


DeepSeek R1 for researchers is the next Hallmark of automation and research. The smartest of logic models is R1, which can outperform other tools for accuracy, effectiveness, and performance. This AI research companion is effective for researchers, analysts, legal writers, tech marketers, programmers, and logic players. From time-saving to deeper blended responses, the tool is not optional but a classic option.

Though some limitations of the tool are its robotic responses, which make it more machine-like. Unlike GPT, the tool struggles with generating creative content. No nuance of emotion is present in the written content. Also, the tool is not that effective in multilingual performance, when it comes to other models of the match like ChatGPT, and access speed is not like other majestic tools.

Adopting the tool will depend on the user's intent or purpose. Better researcher, better performer of many tasks, but lagging in some crucial performances, and with time, the tool will be equipped and changed accordingly. So, in short, DeepSeek‑R1 isn't a ChatGPT killer, but it's a specialist every serious researcher/student/legal person should try.
