Doing some testing on various #LLMs, people rave about #DeepSeek R1, personally I do not see it. I just gave it a binary entropy calculation, it took some 9 and a half minutes to reach the correct answer. Very slow, it also produced about 10 sides of A4 in "reasoning"

It didn't take long to break #DeepSeek - I gave it a 1 sentence prompt in it's "Deepthink" mode that caused it to think for 105 seconds, produce 10 pages of A4 or 3556 words in Chain of thought reasoning and throw an exception at the output. #LLM #GPT
