How to finish this job in mainland China
Where to open it. A DeepSeek product for China. The official site, www.deepseek.com, was checked and opened. https://www.deepseek.com/
What it is good for. When reasoning or writing code, it is more willing to finish the steps. The web version is mainly free to use.
What it is not. Not a separate office suite. For office documents and Alibaba Cloud material, Qwen is close enough to switch.
Note
DeepSeek is the first pick in this column because it most completely does the job of a general model that opens in the mainland: chat works, and for reasoning and code it is often more willing than the other products here to walk through the process. Compared with Qwen, office documents and Alibaba Cloud scenarios are nearly even, so Qwen is the next alternate, not a tier below. A public report on 2 November said creator mode had launched. That was the previous week, so it is not listed as new this week. The official site is deepseek.com, and the chat entrance on the site points to chat.deepseek.com.
Close
Close to Qwen for general use. Reasoning and code more often open DeepSeek first. For office work and Alibaba Cloud documents, you can nearly switch to Qwen.
Price
Web chat is currently mainly free to use. The API on platform.deepseek.com is billed by usage. Opening the pricing page this time was stopped by a captcha, so no unit price is written here.
Chinese
The official site has Chinese, and chat is mainly used in Chinese.
