DeepSeek
DeepSeek-V3.1, released by DeepSeek in August 2025, is a hybrid large language model with 671 billion total parameters (37 billion active) that unifies the capabilities of DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 in a single model. It features a 128K token context window and supports both direct generation and extended reasoning modes selectable via the chat template. DeepSeek-V3.1 targets general-purpose tasks, coding, and complex reasoning under an open MIT license.
OpenAI
GPT-4o, released by OpenAI in May 2024, is a multimodal large language model from the GPT-4 family that natively processes text, image, and audio inputs in a single end-to-end model. It features a 128K token context window and demonstrated competitive performance across coding, reasoning, and vision benchmarks at its release. GPT-4o targets general-purpose assistant applications, vision-enabled workflows, and use cases requiring low-latency multimodal understanding.
