I heard about DeepSeek open source LLM from my Chinese boss (I am working in Skyworth, a Chinese Tech Company) a few months ago a he tells me it's going to be big. Yeah, it's Chinese we don't know what's inside but they claim it as an open source, so we have to wait for the critic audit.
While for AI, they're here to stay, in my opinion we will not get rid of it. Yeah, reliable information is a new weapon of nowadays, it's a new gold mine too. So, why fight AI, why just learn to live along with the AI. However, I am worried with this DeepSeek thing, as I mention earlier it's Chinese and the Chinese government is a notorious for everything.
And finally, all the company has one thing in common, user still need to pay for an access. Hope there will be a free version.
