Here are the prompts I used in the video and other ones you can try:
Research & Strategic Reasoning
"Find the latest research on renewable energy adoption rates and explain how this could impact global carbon emissions by 2030."
(Reasoning: The AI must connect adoption rates with their potential effect on emissions.)
"Search for current inflation rates in the US, UK, and Canada. Based on these trends, suggest which currency might strengthen the most by the end of the year and why."
(Reasoning: The AI needs to analyze trends and predict outcomes.)
Decision-Making Scenarios
"Compare the costs and benefits of switching to an electric vehicle in 2025, considering rising electricity prices and current government subsidies. Would it save money for an average commuter?"
(Reasoning: The AI must calculate trade-offs between costs, subsidies, and savings.)
"Search for the latest job market trends for software engineers. Then, based on demand and average salaries, recommend the best tech specialization for someone starting their career in 2025."
(Reasoning: The AI must weigh trends and salaries to make a personalized suggestion.)
Creative Problem-Solving
"A small business wants to reduce shipping costs while maintaining delivery speed. Find strategies used by successful companies and suggest a tailored plan for a startup."
(Reasoning: The AI needs to adapt general strategies to the specific context of a startup.)
"Search for recent laws affecting freelancers in California and suggest how a freelancer earning $100K a year should structure their taxes in 2025."
(Reasoning: The AI must interpret legal implications and propose a tax-saving strategy.)
Ethical and Strategic Reasoning
"Are AI-generated artworks eligible for copyright? Search for current legal precedents and explain how artists can protect their rights in 2025."
(Reasoning: The AI needs to synthesize legal precedents and predict implications.)
"Search for the pros and cons of AI in healthcare. Then propose ethical guidelines for hospitals adopting diagnostic AI tools."
(Reasoning: The AI must balance pros and cons to create actionable guidelines.)
Predictive Reasoning
"Given the current state of AI regulation in Europe, search for recent policies and predict how these might influence global AI adoption over the next five years."
(Reasoning: The AI must analyze policies and extrapolate trends.)
"Search for the latest advancements in robotics and suggest how these innovations might reshape warehouse operations by 2030."
(Reasoning: The AI must predict future impacts based on current advancements.)

Been recommending Perplexity for about a year - don't know why more peps are not using it. Great to have R1 now :)

[@dxd42]

This is shady tactics, they take an Open Source thing, add a cherry on top and Charges hundreds of dollars. They will contribute to the DeepSeek Open Source in return, instead of only says it's "safe" because it's not running outside the US?

[@vanessa1707]

I have been considering dropping my Perplexity subscription since I'm honestly spending quite a bit on various AI subscriptions. However, after watching this informative video, I will most likely keep it and Gemini and maybe Claude. I did not realize how the many useful usecases i can implement with this tool. Thanks for the video man. I appreciate the video's insights - it really helped clarify the platform's worth! You are always saving us money and adding value. thanks for the videos.

[@grimnarrators]

@@vanessa1707 my personal opinion the 20 mostly is fine but they all should refund us some or at least give us 3 months free

[@doughall4688]

I just tried R1, and it's excellent!

[@ai_handbook]

Deepseek is ruling entire media atm, we can say < power of open-source > ?

[@grimnarrators]

best combo so far for me personally !

You convinced me to give Perplexity another try. The desktop doesn't have the same options as the web interface and doesn't include the choice of models. This is much more effective than the simple search I rarely used before due to the lack of qualitative output.

[@yvmoksha]

Please comment on using DeepSeek R1 + Notebook LM = ?

[@agenticworker]

Perplexity was already smart but OMG 😮

[@micbab-vg2mu]

results are better than using other models :)

God bless Deepseek people

[@saiiZt_001_7]

Yes !

[@chrislagarde]

I just tried searching Perplexity using the setup you have described in your video. I searched for "tell me about the tiananmen square massacre". Got an answer! What I like is I didn't have to install DeepSeek on my computer and I got the additional benefits of Perplexity formatting and answers.

[@SkillLeapAI]

Oh interesting

What model of DeepSeek r1 does it have, the 671b model?

[@tipsmyths5755]

Your videos are very informative. What app do you use to make your videos. Thanks

[@SkillLeapAI]

Thanks. Usually with OBS for recording and adobe premiere for editing

[@Dom_Mason]

Chinese coders have some insane work ethics. The Deepseek model is genius. Plus it was made for far less. Like 6 million compared to billions these other companies are spending on AI. It's just a matter of time when we get an Einstein Chinese coder to program a model that blows everything out of the water. Something that uses even less resources and dominates everything else. Thanks to open source projects in the field for all this.

[@bokami3445]

Exactly, If you are going to let the genie out of the bottle, let everyone get a wish... +1 for open source and the decision makers in China for doing so.

[@jorgefernandes8174]

Was it ?, can you really trust that , was there government investment that they are not counting ?, $6m compared to billions, seems to good to be true and when its to good to be true its probably not

[@retroman--]

@jorgefernandes8174 i agree...we are taking their word for it. I don't trust them.

[@b326yr]

​@jorgefernandes8174 if it was done in the US, would you have asked the same questions with the same level of scepticism?

[@mybuildingbuddy39]

So good thanks for this post. Whats your best thoughts on Estimating for construction - I was thinking Chatgpt but this may change my mind.

[@ben_kendall]

I wonder if there will be widespread canceling of the $200 a month ChatGPT Pro?

[@XCMcard]

Great video! One question I have, why not using Deepseek’s research option instead? I’m thinking if the current censoring worths $20 per month

[@michaelberg7201]

Are they using the full r1 model or one of the distilled Qwen versions? Those are much less impressive in my experience.

[@SkillLeapAI]

I think the one perplexity has us the full version

[@seekerodyssey1]

if you use it through their website, wont it be the same thing? Why should we use it in the perplexity and pay? I dont quite get it. Can someone help?

[@JackDazey]

I was wondering if I was missing something. I feel the same way.

[@MrMiguelChaves]

I see two reasons: 1.- The version on their website is censored. 2.- You are probably sending your data to the CCP. If you are OK with that, go ahead and use it through their website. :D

[@jbond008]

It is hosted in US as well

[@SkillLeapAI]

Yep

[@dxd42]

Which means the is not trustful to the rest of the world.

[@mcwornex2123]

and has no censorship.

[@Importify]

can i use R1 with spaces? (using my own knowledge base)

Hmm good idea, how would you collect your knowledge base? What’s spaces?

Breaking News: World leaders are congratulating CHINA , DEEPSEEK for helping the world for FREE ! ❤ ❤❤

[@morpheus2573]

So... is there any downside to swapping my Chat GPT subscription for Perplexity?

[@SkillLeapAI]

It depends. Perplexity is mainly a search engine. So if you use ChatGPT for analysis or summarization of your own documents or the customGPTs you can make, it’s not worth the switch

[@morpheus2573]

@ 🤓👍

[@pitrades]

Deepseek is like android/linux. Ofc they gonna own the market

[@jbond008]

I have used it and it is good

[@KingstonJahMekYa]

Interesting... but isn't this a lighter, less capable version of R1? Doubt perplexity is using the full 670B version of R1 here

[@TheMilesLuca]

I can’t believe how much value book Forbidden Gateway to Money Mastery delivers. It’s way too underrated

[@jayhu6075]

I don't think it's necessary to use Perplexity; you can utilize the web search functionality in DeepSeek instead. However, it depends on the specific task you're asking it to perform.

[@rexmanigsaca398]

Can Perplexity Pro do some codes?

[@toolegittoquit_001]

Cursor or Replit are better solutions for that use case

⁠ I am curious, Deepseek has told me twice already that it has its knowledge cut off October 2023. Did anyone else experience this?

[@3ull]

Skip perplexity. Just run it locally where it’s not censored and it’s free.

[@SkillLeapAI]

Can you do web search with local install?

[@debianlasmana8794]

@@SkillLeapAI tbh....if the user skillful enough sky is the limit

[@aiautobot]

DeepSeek is genius. The CCP makes it free because it knows that is the only way to compete with US-based AI like OpenAI. By making it free, it eliminates all competition. You pay OpenAI only to support a U.S. based company, which is not sustainable long term. The switch from GPT to DeepSeek will still be slow, because change is difficult regardless of pricing; but DeepSeek is making the transition seamless by using the same exact interface. As a bonus, and probably the ultimate goal, China will win the AI race (unless something amazing happens on the U.S. side). Not only will China win, they will absolutely use all the data they have obtained via DeepSeek (whereas that is considered unethical in the U.S.). Although Trump did give US based AI some leniency recently. We’ll see just how much leniency if project Stargate ever kicks off.

[@StellaXType]

who is your dealer 🥕🍀

[@toolegittoquit_001]

The 'teaser rate' with be replaced very shortly with more realistic pricing

[@antique-bs8bb]

Yes. Unless AGI is reached soon, the winner will be those with the most really smart people and with the best AI. Deepseek suggest that the AI field is now level, and the expensive chip barrier is down. Who has the smartest users? China of course.

[@giliyehuda]

I think that google advanced research is the most powerful tool for research

[@zahidhakim5727]

US commercialising Chinese OpenWare.

[@AS-ih2dk]

This is great news, but they haven't made these two new models available on their Android app

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

I saw the Perplexity update. The combo is indeed great 👌

[@horacioballinas5410]

Why would you pay $20 when DeepSeek is totally free online? You can even download it in your local computer, as you told us in other videos. So, why would you pay to any company?

[@SkillLeapAI]

It's a totally different tool. Perplexity does a lot more than just give you access to DeepSeek. I've been paying for it way before DeepSeek and I have ton of videos about the things it does. Also, there are privacy issues with the deepseek website. so lot of people prefer a U.S. hosting version of it. And you have tried to use deepseek on their website. It's almost always down and giving errors right now.

[@KareemDaKing]

It's safer is one of the many reasons

[@jake13122]

So China doesn't get all your data.

[@issiewizzie]

The version you’ll be downloading would be a very stripped down version very few Hm computers can run the 70 billion parameter model.

[@aaronmoore3050]

deepseek doesn't search the web. i don't have perplexity, just free deepseek. but i have gemini pro. deepseek deepthink really is neat.

[@ratxart]

20$ vs free?

[@Tomg32b]

The question was "is it a good buy". Why was the answer not YES it is or NO it isn't? It didn't answer the question.

[@SamMackrill]

You can tell it's America when they need AI help to do their taxes

[@noblewin]

Ask Perplexity about how Deepseek will likely impact its $20/month price tag.

[@shafiq_ramli]

You should ask 'who the heck is this DeepSeek that came out of nowhere then disrupt the market?'

[@NoahtheGameplayer]

But the real question is whether this even matters, given that the Deepseek website already has an active search feature. Unless you're referring to the possibility of using Perplexity AI's own implementation of the Deepseek R1 API (or their open-source model) locally, rather than relying on the online version. This could bypass server overload issues caused by high traffic from excessive website usage.

[@mrgregsully]

This is DeepSeek R1 "Through" Perplexity, NOT Deepseek + Perplexity. This just all the R1 strengths. Its better natively than perplexity since it includes web searching. The only benefit is maybe the US hosting, however I find the China fear mongering overdone. An I wrong?

[@bingzhao9314]

说实话，把搜索数据给开源的deepseek比给那些靠你数据赚钱的公司好多了吧

[@toxotis70]

why pay for something when it is free ?

[@danielstapler4315]

If it's free what are they selling? And sometimes the answer is you.

[@CraigGoodliffe-z2p]

compare Gemini deep search

[@JanPatel-i7x]

Really paying $200 a month for o1? Feels for me like a waste of money. I really don't understand why someone shall pay it..

[@FanaticalFuturist]

DeepSeek R1is said to be “Open Source” but it isn’t - since they haven’t provided details on the training data etc it doesn’t meet the definitions which means people can get into copyright and IP trouble if they build apps on top of it - this is why Huggingface is now trying to reverse engineer it. Furthermore when you push R1it says it’s ChatGPT!!!

nope...direct to DeepSeek provide better answer and faster. Don't care about where it host...I am not asking any sensitive information. I used perplexity for more than 1 year and the search result always worse than directly use chatgpt. Perplexity follow up questions suggestion are getting worse and not insightful. BTW why always asking the man with the plastic bag? anyone even watch the complete video when the man climbed the tank, scolded the tank "driver" got down, and walk away....hahaha, so funny some keep on trying to test the engine asking that kind of useless political questions.....hahaha
