Also named specifically to muddle the SEO for the term "deep." Nothing that OpenAI does is unintentional.
I have never believed a conspiracy theory more instantly. Deep Search vs. DeepSeek is way more than enough to confuse the average layman! Especially when you're googling something you heard about at work a few hours ago, or on Bloomberg TV
You might as well say that DeepSeek wanted to cause confusion with DeepMind. Deep isn't such a distinguishing name, deep learning has been a buzzword since 2012.
Deepmind is not a consumer product. Gemini is part of it but nobody calls it deepmind.
The point is, "deep" is an extremely generic word in the AI space.
Oh God, this is such an astute observation. I think it worked so well on me that I didn't even think about the "deep" portion initially. Goes to show how effective these things are psychologically.
It's more likely this is a response to Gemini Deep Research released in December
Two birds with one stone: timing for Deepseek and feature for Gemini
That Google product isnt that good, it can't really replace research done by a person.
Just one tool in the toolbox. It helps to see if some sources have been missed.
It absolutely can replace the research done by one person, for my use case at least. It’s also available on their $20/month subscription, unlike OpenAI’s $200/month.
Nobody was going to hire a researcher for a quick question.
Does the naming scheme they've used for models so far suggest that they care about SEO?
