DeepSeek
A Chinese AI lab whose chat app is free and whose models, including DeepSeek-V4 and DeepSeek-R1, are released with open weights. Good for developers who want capable reasoning and coding help at no cost, or who want to run or fine-tune an open model themselves. Data sent to the hosted app is stored on servers in China, so keep sensitive or proprietary material out of it.
