I use Claude at work, DeepSeek at home.

For software development, I notice no difference. For all the work I did using AI, DeepSeek is as capable as claude.

Have you tried other tools like windsurf? Or other free open source Ai?

[surgical_fire]

I never tried Windsurf, no.

I tried DeepSeek and MiMo through both Claude Code and Pi.dev. I found Claude Code a slightly better harness, but I still have both installed and switch around frequently.

As for "open source AI", what exactly are you talking about? Is it open models?

I tried some through Ollama, but I don't have the hardware to run decent models.
