It's a model that outperforms the other ones in a bunch of areas with a smaller footprint and which was trained for less than a twentieth of the price, and then it was released as open source.
If it were European or US made nobody would deem it suspicious if somebody talked about it all month, but it's a Chinese breakthrough and god forbid you talk about it for three days
It has everything to do with the tech being open. You can dispute it all you like, but the fact is that all the code and research behind it is open. Anybody could build a new model from scratch using open data if they wanted to. That's what matters.
I'm commenting on the odd nature of the post and your behavior in the comments, pointing out that it comes across as more a shallow advertisement than a sincere endorsement, that is all. I don't know enough about DeepSeek to discuss it meaningfully, nor do I have enough evidence to decide upon its open source status.
Pretty much all my interactions with the community here have been positive, aside from a few toxic trolls such as yourself. Maybe take your own advice there champ.
