DeepSeek vs Meta AI vs Poe

All three are advanced chatbots tools. Here is what separates them.

What it is	A reasoning-focused assistant whose open-weight models undercut the commercial APIs by an order of magnitude.	Meta’s assistant built on the open-weight Llama models, available on the web and inside WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.	One subscription that fronts most of the major models, so you can put the same question to several and compare.
