Putting aside my personal beliefs on Musk's intentions, do you believe AI can ever be a non profit endeavour at this point? Or did Deepseek just rewrote the rules of the game?
Fun trivia: yesterday while making a website, Deepseek was recommending me to connect to OpenAI's API for one of the steps involved in the process. So i ended up spending 5 dollar on Deepseek's competitor.

I recently tested OpenAI's Deep Research using GPT4o versus DeepSeek R1 on a specific knowledge task that I had related to my research.
OpenAI gave a much better answer. (But I am also paying for their $200/mo subscription)
In terms of the AI wars, we'll see who emerges as the winner. I see any non-profit vision of AI as simply ahistorical. We can't even get internet search, which is a much simpler technology and has an equally strong case to be run as a public utility, to be non-profit.

$200/mo subscription
Worth the money? I used to pay the 20$/month, and stopped doing that as I got enough from the free tier usage... also, the pay as you go option using lightning payments comes in handy if i really need a lot of queries in a row.

It's my first month. I mainly did it to test out Operator. (Which I was pretty unimpressed by.)
But they also have a Deep Research mode which I think is only available to pro subscribers. This is the one that gave me a really good answer. Specifically, I was hoping for it to find the legal basis that authorized LA city council members to behave a certain way. It cited the correct part of the legal code, which I verified. DeepSeek did not find this for me, and seemed to base its answers more off news articles (which could be a problem given the quality of journalism that we have.)
I also have a pay-as-you-go API subscription, but apparently deep research isn't useable through the API either.
