Choosing Between Gemini Advanced and DeepSeek: A Fast Review

Under the stock markets tumult this morning I asked of my AI Gemini (“ultra”) opinion which is better – Gemini Advanced or DeepSeek?

Gemini’s answer was erudite, as you see in the table below. And seems non-biased… In one sentence, Gemini considers itself highly creative and a great reason thinker!   

Here’s a table summarizing the comparison:

FeatureDeepSeek CoderGemini Advanced (Gemini Ultra)
Primary FocusCodingGeneral Language, Reasoning, Multimodal
Coding AbilityExcellent, outperforms many other modelsGood, but not specialized
General KnowledgeLimitedVery Broad
ReasoningDecent, especially code-relatedExcellent
MultimodalityLimited, primarily text and codeInherently Multimodal (text, image, audio, video)
CreativityLimitedHigh
Open SourceYesNo
CostFree (open source)Paid subscription (Google One AI Premium)

In Conclusion:

  • Choose DeepSeek Coder if: Your primary need is for a powerful coding assistant that can generate, complete, and debug code efficiently. It’s also a great choice if you prefer open-source models and want to contribute to their development.
  • Choose Gemini Advanced if: You need a versatile LLM that excels in a wide range of tasks beyond coding, including general knowledge, complex reasoning, creative writing, and you want a multimodal experience. It’s a good option if you need a well-rounded AI assistant for diverse tasks and don’t mind a paid subscription.

Ultimately, the “better” model depends on your specific requirements. You might even find it beneficial to use both models in conjunction, leveraging DeepSeek Coder for coding tasks and Gemini Advanced for everything else.

For tonight, I’ll sleep better.
