Why people look for an alternative

Deepseek fails clear canonical domain, clear product positioning, public docs discoverable, llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, mcp discoverable, machine-readable metadata, clear capability definitions, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, pricing understandable, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, self-service signup, no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, free trial or free allowance, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart, cli available, mcp integration available, canonical workflow succeeds, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, observable execution, agent compatibility verified. Each one is a place an unattended run stops, which is usually what sends someone looking in the first place.

An agent can get this list directly: resolve("alternative to Deepseek") over the MCP server, or GET /v1/categories/<category>.
