But Deepseek isn’t Open Source by any definition of that word that I’m familiar with. Sure, they release more components than ProprietaryAI (which is a low bar,) but what you’re left with is still a blob with a lot of the source code not released and no data set published as far as I can tell. Also, if I wanted to train my own model with the tools released, I’d still need millions of GPU hours. As I said, they are more transparent than others, but let’s not warp the definitions of words just to give a “win” to another company that is just making another hallucination machine.

I mean, they have already escaped justice for sex crimes because of their wealth and power, so in effect it would make no difference.
