Original Headless Thrones editorial illustration for "Claude vs DeepSeek: a document workspace or free hosted reasoning?". Decision context: DeepSeek is a useful free entry point for hosted reasoning and search-assisted chat. Claude deserves evaluation when iterative documents, artifacts and related work tools are central; data handling and the exact output can decide before any model comparison does. Visual metaphor: two small architecture models linked by a shared review station. Adapt the objects to the specific comparison: software construction, research evidence, agent state, document editing, plan capacity or automation as relevant. Show a tradeoff and a shared verification step, not a declared winner. Refined editorial gouache with fine architectural ink, tactile paper, coherent miniature scale. Warm cream #f4f1e8, forest #263d35, sage #9aaa81, ocean teal #103d4a and restrained ochre. Landscape 3:2, clear original composition and breathing room. No text, letters, numbers, logos, watermarks, people, robots, fake product screenshots or benchmark charts. Clearly an imagined AI-generated illustration, not a technical architecture diagram or evidence of real performance.
