    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

        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.

            But we weren’t talking about wether or not you would use it. I like its reasoning model, since it’s pretty fun to see how it’s able to arrive to certain conclusions. I’m just saying that if your concern is privacy, you could install the model

        it’s on huggingface, just like the base model.

          Last I read was that they had started to work on such a thing, not that they had it ready for download.

            that’s the “open-r1” variant, which is based on open training data. deepseek-r1 and variants are available now.
