Thank you for the reports. It’s on the line, but e-commerce is tangentially related to tech. Downvote this comment if you don’t want to see posts like this in the future.

Who cares about irreversible damage for the magical economic growth, right?

Not Onion.

You are right, it indeed doesn’t quality under OSI definition. I wasn’t aware they didn’t share the code for training the model. My bad on assuming they did, based on the public GitHub repo.

Even then, it’s still the most open commercial model out there that rivals anything US Big Tech managed to come up with using their unlimited budget. There is no diminishing that. Lack of training code only affects other companies with enough resources to build it. It’s a huge win for consumers and huge embarrassment for the US companies.

P.S. There isn’t such a thing as “not fully open source”. It either is or it’s not.

It provides a bunch of claims which it fails to prove (they don’t even bother to prove them to be honest).

It’s like me saying “Based on my own analysis @[email protected] is likely a paid actor”. Without any evidence it’s meaningless claim that nobody will take seriously.

And it is open source by OSI definition. The only thing they don’t provide is the raw training data, which OSI definition doesn’t require to qualify.

This title doesn’t even represent the analysis, literally a false claim.

Also, please read the report. They make a lot of claims and speculations which are possible, but don’t prove even single case in their analysis.

It was a nice sleight of hand on their part. There is a lot of misleading information about all of it since they only release pre-training details on DeepSeek-V3 model, but not DeepSeek-R1. But the media reported on it as it was one and the same without any distinction.

Based on reports, the parent company had access to more GPUs than reported amount used. Hard to tell if they were utilized though.

There was a reason US government was subsidizing it. That’s literally the only way US can stay competitive since private businesses don’t give a shit about investing in R&D. I would love to see continued breaking research from some dank non-sterile basement.

In its privacy policy, DeepSeek acknowledged storing data on servers inside the People’s Republic of China. But its chatbot appears more directly tied to the Chinese state than previously known through the link revealed by researchers to China Mobile. The U.S. has claimed there are close ties between China Mobile and the Chinese military as justification for placing limited sanctions on the company.

ChatGPT also stores data on US servers, while OpenAI is a military contractor for the US government.

Neither Feroot nor the other researchers observed data transferred to China Mobile when testing logins in North America, but they could not rule out that data for some users was being transferred to the Chinese telecom.

Curious if they only transfer data if the login is made from China to comply with some law.

And this is extremely easy to mitigate. Just run the model locally.

I personally lost trust in Daniel. Too many broken promises at this point. But the beauty of Fediverse is that, I can just support other projects instead that can still be interconnected, but not dependent on them.

It’s not a comparison of how deep each of them are. It’s simple fact that they all are. Even defunct one like Internet Explorer or Edge were part of the same industry. It’s a pattern, not a coincidence.

Problem without solution.
