Why this comparison actually matters
A few months ago, DeepSeek came out of nowhere and shocked the AI world. Chinese AI lab, open-source model, performs at GPT-4 level at a fraction of the cost. Stock markets moved. OpenAI got nervous. Everyone started asking: is DeepSeek actually better than the expensive Western models?
Claude Sonnet 4.6 — Anthropic's current mid-tier model — is the AI that Indian professionals, developers, and students use most for serious work. It's known for being thoughtful, careful, and genuinely good at nuanced tasks. DeepSeek V3 is free via the web app, runs on servers in China, and has been impressively capable for tasks that previously required paid AI tools.
Both are excellent. The question is: for Indian users specifically — who use AI for coding at IT companies, writing emails and reports, studying for exams, translating content, and managing everyday tasks — which one is actually better?
