gentle reminder that deepseek is an open-weight model and NOT open source. there's nothing open about it; no information on how its trained or data trained on, just like its western counterparts
Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released.

Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
