The big difference is DeepSeek R1 has a permissive license whereas Claude has a nightmare “closed output” customer noncompete license which makes it unusable for work unless you accept not competing with your intelligence supplier, which sounds dumb
Do most people have an expectation of competing with Claude?
Some of the people who use Claude for coding work on products involving AI. I don't know what percentage, but I bet it's not trivial.
Seems like that must make it impossible for the Cursor devs to use their own product given that Claude is the default there
