ChatGPT’s o1 reasoning model has been crowned best in class.
The issue is that it costs USD 200 a month to use it.
Yesterday, Deepseek R1 came out. It’s free and outperforms ChatGPT’s o1 model in multiple areas.
So, as a business owner, why should you care?
With AI getting to a point where it is more intelligent in reasoning than math olympiads or Nobel prize-winning physicists, the key thing is that intelligence isn’t at a premium any more.
When hiring, we’re told to find the most intelligent people, but if you look closely, we now have intelligence on tap using these AIs.
The people we want to hire now need agency and skills to execute opportunities.
Intelligence can be accessed for free if we use these tools properly; agency and the ability to act are rare – hire for the latter.
