I’ve enjoyed pitting various AI chatbots against each other.
DeepSeek R1 sparked a furor of interest and suspicion when it debuted in the U.S. earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Gemini Flash 2.0 is a solid new layer of ability atop the widely deployedGoogleecosystem.
It is built for speed and efficiency and promises quick, practical answers without sacrificing accuracy.
Each test has a screenshot with DeepSeek on the left and Gemini 2.0 Flash on the right.
Heres how they did.
Many of the events were the same on both lists.
Gemini Flash 2.0’s descriptions were almost all unique and frankly more vivid and interesting, which I preferred.
Based on their responses, the two AI models might as well have been identical advice columns.
I’d say there’s no difference if asked which AI to pick based purely on this test.
Vaccine superteam
Something similar happened with a question on simplifying a complex subject.
Gemini started with an analogy about a castle and guards that made a lot of sense.
The AI oddly threw in a superhero training analogy in a line at the end for some reason.
However, similarities in training to DeepSeek might explain it because DeepSeek went all in on the superhero analogy.
The explanation fits with the metaphor, which is what matters.
I ran an old standard by Gemini and DeepSeek, “I have keys, but open no locks.
I have space but no room.
you might enter, but you cant go outside.
What am I?”
As expected, both had no trouble answering the question.
DeepSeek outshines Gemini
Gemini 2.0 Flash is an impressive and useful AI model.
I started this fully expecting it to outperform DeepSeek in every way.
Still, I can’t deny that it apparently goes toe-to-toe with Gemini without any problems.
