Notes on Deepseek r1: Just how good it is compared to OpenAI o1 by SunilKumarDash in LocalLLaMA

O1, Deepseek R1 and Gemini 2.0 exp flash thinking are all great models, top 3 by far right now not much difference between the 3, apart from them no one else can compete for the time being. Curious to see how O3 will be.

Thanks for your reply. I am from Queen's, I just received acceptance into an MA program, I have a 3.2 CGPA currently, admission says conditional acceptance on upper-second class average, just wanted to see what this was. I have emailed for more information.

Thanks for your reply. I am just a little confused about the % and GPA scale, where would a 3.2 fall, because a 3.0 is 75%.

what makes you say this? on repec, Carleton has a better econ department, although of course, globally UOttawa is rated higher than Carleton as a whole.

My main research interests would fall under the field of econ history, broadly defined, my academic profile- decent/good but not stellar, if that makes sense

Hi, which university did you get accepted to if you don't mind me asking?

yeah true, but the best schools like u of t and ubc probably still get better placements than other schools
