I've been following this news closely for the past week but I prefer not to post because it might ruffle some feathers here on HIVE...y'know people who're anti-AIs without really understanding it 🙄
It also doesn’t dabble in image generation, which is basically half the fun of these things.
DS released their image generation model but a little bit wonky to, not as good as Dall-E but we all know they will catch up or even surpass Dall-E some point in near future.

And there are more AI tools rolling out recently apart from DS:
Kimi.ai - A free, direct competitor to DeepSeek. It has an advantage in that it's multimodal, so it can understand images. Developed by rival Chinese company, Moonshot, this also is outshining OpenAI's o1 model. You can try it now at https://kimi.ai
Proxy by Convergence - European company Convergence are offering the features of OpenAi's new Operator tool, but charging $20 per month instead of the $200 per month for Operator. You can give it a try for free. Seems nice, but is pretty slow.
