What they are

DeepSeek

DeepSeek is a large language model chatbot developed by a Chinese AI lab, available free via web, app, and API. Creators, developers, and researchers use it for writing, coding, summarization, and reasoning tasks. Its R1 reasoning model performs competitively with much more expensive alternatives, making it a credible option for budget-conscious creators. Data is processed on servers based in China, which is a real consideration for sensitive content.

Kling AI

Kling AI is a video generation platform from Kuaishou that turns text prompts or reference images into short video clips up to two minutes long. It targets content creators, marketers, and filmmakers who need generated footage without a production crew. The output quality rivals other top-tier generators, though render times on the free tier can be slow and credits are consumed quickly on longer clips.
