Cost: OpenAI models are expensive as they are proprietary that require higher computation limiting their accessibility to wider individuals, researchers, and businesses who are on a budget. DeepSeek is open source and provides a more cost-effective option.
Transparency and Control: OpenAI models lack transparency for users. DeepSeek allows for greater accountability and transparency, customizations, and ability to adapt to different constraints.
Hardware Dependency: OpenAI models require more computational resources with specific high-end hardware and GPU that limits accessibility and cost to deployment. DeepSeek provide greater degree of efficiency and development of models without reliance on high-end hardware and more cost-effective options.
Data Privacy: OpenAI has privacy and security concerns on use of data which may be used to train and improve models. DeepSeek provides a greater degree of control on data to users, but may not be completely secure as they may also use data for training and improving models.
