Yeah. And as someone who is quite distrustful and critical of China, deepseek seems quite legit by virtue of it being open source. Hard to have nefarious motives when you can literally just download the whole model yourself
I got a distilled uncensored version running locally on my machine, and it seems to be doing alright
The model being open source has zero to do with privacy of the website/app itself.
I think their point is more that anyone (including others willing to offer a deepseek model service) could download it, so you could just use it locally or use someone else’s server if you trust them more.
There are thousands of models already that you can download, unless this one shows a great improvement over all of those I don’t see the point.
Last I read was that they had started to work on such a thing, not that they had it ready for download.
