Neither Deepseek or Metas models are opensource. They are openweights. Don’t let them redefine what open source means.
Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see
1. The data it was trained & evaluated on
2. The code
3. Model architecture
4. Model weights.
DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

4 years ago Trump incited a deadly riot on our Capitol. He tries to tell you what you saw with your own eyes wasn't real, his associates deleted texts and told lies for him. The fact remains today- Donald Trump is a weak, cowardly traitor to our country.
