alt Hacker NewsDeepSeek (reasoning) and Gemini (multimodal) have been useful for me — especially when I want stronger pushback or a different angle. What are you hoping to get that you’re not getting from the usual set?

Do you customize or personalize these at all? Or use it just out of the box? I use gemini for image generation and as an, assistant through my android although not frequently. As a chat assistant the online Google UI is a turnoff personally.
I recently deleted my ChatGPT and was just looking around for what the other options are. I kinda like fast, but Grok / Perplexity are behind a perpetual CloudFlare check for me. I'm looking for something that doesn't spend forever reasoning out the answer to some basic quick question.
It's interesting, as I type that out it makes me wonder why not just go back to the search engine since it has the AI summaries that have been getting better.
Finally, I do also like the longer reasoning when I have a tough question and usually like to copy paste it around to various models and compare their responses.
