They’re gonna have a hard time making it illegal to download a completely open source software lol
Unfortunately, as I’ve learned recently, it doesn’t look like Deepseek is actually open source.
You can download the model, but unless I’m misunderstanding, that feels comparable to calling Photoshop open source because you can download the .exe file on your computer.
Its MIT licensed. Meaning the code is open but the license is permissible in that copy’s can be subsequently closed. This is unlike with the GPL most generally associated with open source code.
The weights are MIT licensed. The code is, too, but code for these things are uninteresting.
The training data is not open source, and that’s the interesting part of a model.
What’s this? https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3
This comment here seems to summarize it well: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/issues/457#issuecomment-2627016777
It’s more open-sourced than I thought, but also seems debatable. I don’t know enough about LLMs to properly judge. I would probably stay away from calling it “completely open-sourced” though.
You can reweight as you please to whatever dataset you like. They can say what the training data included, but they can’t share the dataset.
Do not tempt them to outlaw open source.
Facebook already tipped their hand by prematurely banning posts about Linux.
Well now I’m just gonna download it even harder.
Oh I thought we just did Executive Orders these days. Interesting for Congress to want to be in the pocket of the three richest men in the United States, too.
Because prohibition works, right?
Is this the bill that will finally bring egg prices down?
In evil badcountry, the regime makes it a crime simply to posess things from Outside
Yes, that will definitely put the toothpaste back.
I guess competition isn’t a thing in the us anymore. What a bunch of pussies.
Damn. Okay, everyone that’s already grabbed a copy off of Ollama needs to upload it back.
DeepSeek did everything right, it will not be possible to ban when anyone can run distilled versions on their own mid-high end consumer hardware and even full version.
The only way to access OpenAI o1 is through their API.
Why doesn’t "Open"AI just train gpt5 with deepseek, and reclaim their stock valuation?
Because their premise is that they have an unassailable hardware advantage in the AI space. Deepseek just offered something on par with them while running on hardware that a mid-sized business could put together. OpenAI isn’t special anymore.
It still makes mistakes with basic Physics 101 questions, but so far it’s the only LLM I’ve used which gets it right 80%~ of the time instead of 30%~ with ChatGPT or Google.
“The downloading of deep seek is causing the prices of eggs to rise, so stop the downloading and the prices will fall!”
They didn’t even give it a snappy acronym name, this country can’t do anything right anymore 😒
