Personally, I've found DeepSeek R1 to be a profoundly good model for thinking through problems across fields.

I had a complex finance situation that I was struggling with, both from a mathematical/taxation perspective and a personal psychological finance hangup. I spent a few good hours talking to it through everything and had a mental breakthrough. To get the same kind of insight, I would have to pay a financial advisor AND a psychologist for several hours.

That all of this was free while someone calls it a "con" seems completely wrong

(I got my CFA cousin to look over the numbers and he agreed with R1's advice, fwiw)

Yeah, I've had similar experiences. I still hesitate if it's a field I don't know too well of course (never trust an LLM), but R1 has been able to solve things I've been stuck on. And watching it's <think></think> process has been insightful. Only issue is that it ties up all my GPUs while I run it.

Hopefully Mistral can copy their technique and give us a 123b reasoning model.
