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.

Restream

Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view.
