I asked perplexity:
Is it fair to say as a metaphor that deepseak compared to ChatGPT is like a human with a smaller brain size but with higher IQ?
The metaphor comparing DeepSeek to a "human with a smaller brain but higher IQ" relative to ChatGPT captures some aspects of their differences but oversimplifies their capabilities.
- **Brain Size (Parameters):** DeepSeek has more parameters (600 billion vs. ChatGPT's 175 billion), which could be likened to a "larger brain." However, DeepSeek activates only a subset of these parameters dynamically using its Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, optimizing efficiency for specific tasks[1][3].
- **IQ (Task Specialization):** DeepSeek excels in technical and specialized tasks like mathematics and coding due to its reinforcement learning-driven design, which enhances problem-solving and reasoning. This focus could be seen as "higher IQ" in specific domains[1][3].
- **Broader Context:** ChatGPT is more generalized, excelling in contextual understanding, nuanced responses, and conversational coherence, making it versatile but less specialized[1][3].
Thus, while the metaphor highlights DeepSeek's efficiency and specialization compared to ChatGPT's broader adaptability, it oversimplifies the complexity of their architectures and use cases.
