DeepSeek R1 Explained: What It Does and How to Use It
DeepSeek R1 explained for beginners — what makes the reasoning model different, how DeepThink actually works, and what happens to your data when you use it. DeepSeek arrived fast and got compared to every major model within weeks, but most coverage skipped the two things that matter to someone deciding whether to use it: how R1 reasons through a problem step by step instead of answering immediately, and what its privacy policy actually says. This hour-long guide covers both, alongside a side-by-side look at how DeepSeek stacks up against ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, plus practical strategies for content and research work.

No prior AI experience needed. A free DeepSeek account and a browser are enough — nothing to install.
🔒 On the privacy chapter (58:19): DeepSeek is operated by a Chinese company and processes data on servers in China under its own privacy policy. Several governments restrict it on official devices. Watch that section before you put anything work-related into it, and don't enter confidential, personal, or NDA-covered information into any AI tool — this one included — without checking what you're permitted to share. DeepSeek publishes open model weights, but using the app is not the same as running a model locally.
