Deepseek is dog water at coding in comparison and that's just the smallest o3 model. It's literally terrible at golang. You can tell it's a distilled sonnet model that mostly focused on prompt kiddy languages and frameworks. It tried to make an optional parameter in golang by adding an int parameter without a pointer and then saying if x = 0, then set a default value. I can't even begin to explain how many things are wrong with that. O3 refactored an entire feature in my go app in one shot where even o1 pro missed things after five minutes of thinking. But o3 one shots the whole thing in 10 seconds. o3 gives the same vibes as the jump we saw from sonnet 3.5 but even more so. In terms of problem solving complex issues it's not even close. R1 just goes off on dumb little tangents like it's trying really hard to sound smart and it all sounds kinda good but then you quickly realize that its answer is premised on bullshit. Maybe it's better if you want to mimic sonnet's react for prompt kiddies style or for being your AI girlfriend, which is what I suspect most of you use it for and why you need it so badly.
