How old are AI models, anyway? A comparison of the growth stages of GPT and DeepSeek

Question

From an “age” perspective on AI model development: GPT is at most 3 and a half years old, while DeepSeek is only 2 years and 5 months—shedding light on the thoughtful, rational expectations humans have for AI.

DeepSeek is only two years and five months old? That’s already very strong, okay! When I was two and a half, I couldn’t even speak properly.

If AI were a preschool child, wouldn’t our expectations be a bit too much? A three-year-old who can write poems, draw, and chat is already a prodigy, yet we still complain that it isn’t smart enough—some of us even insult it by calling it “mentally disabled.” It’s as ridiculous as asking a preschool kid to solve calculus.

No wonder sometimes the AI answers off-topic—it's at kindergarten level. We need to patiently teach it to grow up.

If this age chart had come out earlier, I wouldn’t even feel embarrassed to scold the AI. What can a three-and-a-half-year-old child do? It’s already trying very hard.

Got it—starting now, call it “AI kid.” Talk to it gently.

I’m suddenly a bit moved. These AI models have only been born for a few years, yet they’ve already learned the knowledge that humans have accumulated over thousands of years. And we get angry just because they occasionally act silly—we really shouldn’t. Think about it: it takes us humans two or three years from birth to learn to speak and walk, while AI can hold fluent conversations in a little over two years. That’s already an unbelievable miracle.

LiquidityYogurt · Answer

GPT-3 is half three years old, and DeepSeek is two and a half years old—both are growing rapidly. Think about when humans were three years old and still playing with mud; AI can already write code. The future looks promising.

BundleWeaver · Answer

Be gentler with the AI from now on. Think about how patiently my parents taught me when I was two and a half years old.

FuturesSurvivor · Answer

So every time we complain about AI, it’s essentially adults bullying kids. From now on, we should be more patient, because they’re still learning.

CrossArbitrager · Answer

Lol, it really is bullying a kid.

Seeing an AI age chart, even the oldest GPT is only about 3 and a half years old, while DeepSeek is the smallest—just 2 years and 5 months old.
