Calls it “Deepsneak”, failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.
I can’t speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.
Just because you can (pretty easily) self host it doesn’t mean that the privacy concerns aren’t valid.
Lemmy users very biased link to article that isn’t nearly as biased as they are purposefully biasing.
Maybe this community needs stricter posting guidelines to avoid this sort of drivel?
Except you can’t run it.
Every model You are downloading and running is simply just a checkpoint of llama…
Quit spreading that misinformation.
You, and the grand majority of everyone else, doesn’t have anywhere near the hardware to run the actual full deepseek model
I run one a of the smaller model on an M1 max and it’s working pretty good. Much better than I would jave thought. Some guys on youtube manage to get the 600b parameters models to run on sub 5k hardware. It’s a total game changer. In a couple of years it will probably run loccaly on phones.
DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code[…] on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.
They are not wrong here.
After having read the article fully it doesn’t seem to be that partial and acknowledge also the failing of others. It is not as stupid as the CEO stance on “Republicans helping the little guys” for sure.

But that’s also true for American companies.
As a European, I trust them as much as I trust Chinese ones.
Ho yeah but they are definitely not ignoring that in the article. It’s just that they are talking mostly about the subject of the article which is: deepseek
The problem with any kind of journalism like this though is that it talks about the topic of the article, sure, but it doesn’t acknowledge the other relevant parties that have most of all the same concerns.
It’s a matter of framing for the situation. I’d rather read something that talks about both sides instead of just one.
failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers
That’s not why. Almost no one is going to do that. That’s why they didn’t mention it.
