        Question: as i understood it so far, this thing is open source and so is the dataset.

        With that, why would it still obey Chinese censorship?

          Even though it’s magnitudes lower than comparable models, Deepseek still cost millions to train. Unless someone’s willing to invest this just to retrain it from scratch, you’re left with the alignment of its trainers.

            Good point.

            Is the training set malleable, though? Could you give it some additional rules to basically sidestep this?

              Yeah, I guess you could realign it without retraining the whole thing! Dunno what would be the cost though, sometimes this is done with a cohort of human trainers 😅

    The image generation is really bad. Image description capabilities seem good but it’ll take time to see if it’s better than what already exists.

    They probably just put it out to keep the hype going.

      Yeah, even the cherry picked examples they provide look only okay.

      To be honest everything with this company feels like an ad campaign more than anything else.
