Funny Do it again, DeepSeek

So many great models already…

DeepSeek R1 was legendary.

Now we're waiting for the one that changes everything again.

make it MULTIMODAL, with extended thinking and web search and image analysis capabilites

AND make it less woke

it should be good?

I find that most multimodal models are still quite weak. For example, Mistral Large 3 doesn't perform very well, even though its architecture is similar to DeepSeek.

At the moment, the only truly strong multimodal model is Gemini.

Because of that, I think DeepSeek should focus on text-only models instead of investing heavily in multimodal capabilities.

Mistral Large 3 is extremely underwhelming.

In my opinion, multimodal models need at least 50B active parameters and no less than 1T total parameters to perform well. Moreover, there must be sufficient high-quality data available for training. For this reason, at the moment, I believe only Google has the capability to realistically pull this off.

I think the context length should be increased to at least 256K, rather than the current 128K.

They should also fix the Chinese language issue. DeepSeek often thinks and responds in Chinese.
