Part 5/8:
While models like DeepSeek V3 achieve a commendable level of transparency, current practices in AI may still fall short. Most prominent frontier models do not fully disclose their training data or code, leading to a disparity in what is deemed 'open'.
The Case of DeepSeek
DeepSeek stands out in this landscape for its commitment to producing extensively detailed documentation regarding its models. The release of its training techniques and architectural modifications provides invaluable resources to enhance understanding and application within the AI community. Its permissive licensing—following the MIT license—eliminates conventional restrictions, allowing commercial use of outputs without extraneous limitations.
