🎥 AI AGENT TUTORIAL
DeepSeek-R1, a powerful Chinese AI model designed to compete with OpenAI's GPT and Google's Gemini. The video demonstrates how DeepSeek-R1 integrates with Cline, an autonomous coding agent, to create full-stack applications with minimal human input.
Key Takeaways:
DeepSeek-R1 outperforms OpenAI's 01 model across various benchmarks while being 30 times cheaper
It fully surpasses Claude 3.5 Sonnet and is 100% open-source under the MIT license
DeepSeek-R1 costs only $2.19 per million output tokens compared to OpenAI's $60
The video demonstrates using Cline with DeepSeek-R1 to autonomously create a full-stack blog application and a music streaming application
Cline can autonomously create files, execute terminal commands, and browse the web directly from the IDE
