Why DeepSeek Is the Most Underrated AI Model Right Now

New AI models launch every week — but only a few ever make it into developers’ day-to-day workflows. DeepSeek is one of the rare exceptions: fast, affordable, and remarkably capable at generating and reasoning about code. And yet, it’s missing from most modern dev stacks.

Why?

A Hidden Powerhouse

DeepSeek rivals (and in some cases surpasses) many popular models in areas like multilingual programming and structured reasoning. It handles languages like Rust, Swift, and even niche DSLs surprisingly well. Even better — it's priced at a fraction of what you'd pay for models from OpenAI or Anthropic, making it an ideal choice for indie hackers and lean teams.

Despite this, DeepSeek often gets overlooked. Most tools default to GPT or Claude without questioning whether they’re the right tool for the job.

How We're Using DeepSeek at Oyren.dev

At Oyren.dev, we’ve been using the DeepSeek V3 model to generate React components directly in the browser — and it’s been delivering outstanding results at a fraction of the cost. While we haven’t fully integrated the R1 model yet (due to limitations around its function_call
