Very quickly after DeepSeek-R1 gets released, as I mentioned, not just the perplexity version but also other open source versions very quickly overtook it on the leaderboards. So, it is technically quite interesting that they figure out how to circumvent the export control to that degree but, in absolute quality-ish comparisons, there’s better choices both open source and non-open source compared to DeepSeek-R1.
