How these alternatives were chosen

Tools DeepSeek names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in AI. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.

DeepSeek also lists OpenAI GPT models, Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, Google Gemini as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
