I Tested DeepSeek’s R1 and V3 Coding Skills – and we’re not All Doomed (Yet).
DeepSeek exploded into the world’s awareness this past weekend. It sticks out for 3 effective factors:
1. It’s an AI chatbot from China, instead of the US
2. It’s open source.
3. It utilizes significantly less infrastructure than the big AI tools we have actually been taking a look at.
Also: Apple scientists expose the secret sauce behind DeepSeek AI
Given the US federal government’s concerns over TikTok and possible Chinese government involvement because code, a brand-new AI emerging from China is bound to produce attention. ZDNET’s Radhika Rajkumar did a deep dive into those problems in her article Why China’s DeepSeek could rupture our AI bubble.
In this article, we’re preventing politics. Instead, I’m putting both DeepSeek V3 and DeekSeek R1 through the same set of AI coding tests I have actually tossed at 10 other large language models. According to DeepSeek itself:
Choose V3 for jobs requiring depth and precision (e.g., resolving innovative mathematics problems, generating complex code).
Choose R1 for latency-sensitive, high-volume applications (e.g., client assistance automation, standard text processing).
You can pick in between R1 and V3 by clicking the little button in the chat interface. If the button is blue, you’re utilizing R1.
The brief response is this: remarkable, but clearly not ideal. Let’s dig in.
Test 1: Writing a WordPress plugin
This test was actually my first test of ChatGPT’s shows prowess, way back in the day. My partner needed a plugin for WordPress that would assist her run a participation device for her online group.
Also: The very best AI for coding in 2025 (and what not to use)
Her requirements were fairly simple. It required to take in a list of names, one name per line. It then had to sort the names, and if there were replicate names, separate them so they weren’t listed side-by-side.
I didn’t really have time to code it for her, so I chose to give the AI the obstacle on an impulse. To my substantial surprise, it worked.
Since then, it’s been my very first test for AIs when evaluating their programs abilities. It requires the AI to understand how to establish code for the WordPress structure and follow triggers clearly enough to produce both the interface and program reasoning.
Only about half of the AIs I have actually tested can completely pass this test. Now, nevertheless, we can include one more to the winner’s circle.
DeepSeek V3 developed both the interface and program logic precisely as defined. As for DeepSeek R1, well that’s an intriguing case. The “reasoning” element of R1 triggered the AI to spit out 4502 words of analysis before sharing the code.
The UI looked different, with much larger input locations. However, both the UI and reasoning worked, so R1 also passes this test.
So far, DeepSeek V3 and R1 both passed among four tests.
Test 2: Rewriting a string function
A user complained that he was not able to go into dollars and cents into a donation entry field. As composed, my code just permitted dollars. So, the test includes giving the AI the regular that I wrote and asking it to reword it to enable for both dollars and cents
Also: My favorite ChatGPT feature just got method more effective
Usually, this leads to the AI producing some routine expression recognition code. DeepSeek did produce code that works, although there is room for improvement. The code that DeepSeek V2 wrote was needlessly long and repetitive while the reasoning before generating the code in R1 was likewise long.
My most significant concern is that both designs of the DeepSeek validation makes sure recognition as much as 2 decimal places, but if a huge number is entered (like 0.30000000000000004), the usage of parseFloat doesn’t have specific rounding knowledge. The R1 design likewise utilized JavaScript’s Number conversion without examining for edge case inputs. If bad information comes back from an earlier part of the regular expression or a non-string makes it into that conversion, the code would crash.
It’s odd, since R1 did present an extremely nice list of tests to verify versus:
So here, we have a split decision. I’m offering the point to DeepSeek V3 since neither of these issues its code produced would cause the program to break when run by a user and would produce the anticipated outcomes. On the other hand, I have to offer a fail to R1 since if something that’s not a string in some way gets into the Number function, a crash will take place.
Which gives DeepSeek V3 2 triumphes of 4, but DeepSeek R1 just one triumph of 4 so far.
Test 3: Finding a bothersome bug
This is a test produced when I had a really frustrating bug that I had trouble finding. Once once again, I decided to see if ChatGPT might handle it, which it did.
The obstacle is that the response isn’t obvious. Actually, the difficulty is that there is an response, based upon the mistake message. But the apparent response is the wrong response. This not only caught me, however it regularly captures a few of the AIs.
Also: Are ChatGPT Plus or Pro worth it? Here’s how they compare to the free version
Solving this bug needs understanding how particular API calls within WordPress work, having the ability to see beyond the error message to the code itself, and after that knowing where to discover the bug.
Both DeepSeek V3 and R1 passed this one with nearly identical answers, bringing us to 3 out of 4 wins for V3 and 2 out of four wins for R1. That currently puts DeepSeek ahead of Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and Meta.
Will DeepSeek score a crowning achievement for V3? Let’s learn.
Test 4: Writing a script
And another one bites the dust. This is a difficult test because it needs the AI to comprehend the interaction between 3 environments: AppleScript, the Chrome item design, and a Mac scripting tool called Keyboard Maestro.
I would have called this an unfair test because Keyboard Maestro is not a mainstream programming tool. But ChatGPT handled the test quickly, comprehending precisely what part of the problem is handled by each tool.
Also: How ChatGPT scanned 170k lines of code in seconds, conserving me hours of work
Unfortunately, neither DeepSeek V3 or R1 had this level of knowledge. Neither model knew that it required to divide the job in between directions to Keyboard Maestro and Chrome. It likewise had fairly weak knowledge of AppleScript, composing customized regimens for AppleScript that are native to the language.
Weirdly, the R1 design stopped working also because it made a bunch of inaccurate presumptions. It assumed that a front window always exists, which is definitely not the case. It likewise made the assumption that the presently front running program would constantly be Chrome, rather than explicitly examining to see if Chrome was running.
This leaves DeepSeek V3 with 3 right tests and one fail and DeepSeek R1 with 2 proper tests and two stops working.
Final thoughts
I found that DeepSeek’s insistence on utilizing a public cloud e-mail address like gmail.com (instead of my typical e-mail address with my corporate domain) was bothersome. It also had a number of responsiveness fails that made doing these tests take longer than I would have liked.
Also: How to use ChatGPT to write code: What it does well and what it doesn’t
I wasn’t sure I ‘d be able to compose this article since, for many of the day, I got this mistake when attempting to register:
DeepSeek’s online services have actually recently dealt with massive harmful attacks. To guarantee ongoing service, registration is temporarily limited to +86 phone numbers. Existing users can visit as normal. Thanks for your understanding and assistance.
Then, I got in and was able to run the tests.
DeepSeek appears to be overly loquacious in regards to the code it produces. The AppleScript code in Test 4 was both incorrect and excessively long. The regular expression code in Test 2 was appropriate in V3, but it could have been composed in a manner in which made it much more maintainable. It failed in R1.
Also: If ChatGPT produces AI-generated code for your app, who does it really belong to?
I’m definitely amazed that DeepSeek V3 vanquished Gemini, Copilot, and Meta. But it seems at the old GPT-3.5 level, which implies there’s certainly space for improvement. I was dissatisfied with the outcomes for the R1 model. Given the option, I ‘d still choose ChatGPT as my shows code helper.
That stated, for a new tool running on much lower infrastructure than the other tools, this might be an AI to view.
