What is DeepSeek: China's open-source AI research lab which rivals OpenAI [context]

[ekzepp@lemmy.world]

• Chinese AI lab DeepSeek launched the DeepSeek-R1 model, rivaling OpenAI in math reasoning and code generation.

• The model is open-sourced for global research use.

• Requires way less computing power than competitors like Meta.

• Competes with OpenAI in critical areas such as mathematical reasoning, code generation, and cost efficiency

• Overcame U.S. chip export restrictions through optimized architecture.

It's not open-source, stop spreading disinformation. The core of the product are the model weights and no source is provided for them, making them irreproducible. This is as open source as distributing a single exe file because after all you can read the assembly code, no?

Give me source and i change the title.

I prefer to call these models "open-weights". However, "open-source" is widely used and understood in this context. Not an intentional disinformation.

[filister@lemmy.world]

Please show me an LLM model that is really open source. My understanding is that most of the open models are open weights. For the record Mistral is also releasing Open weights models.

[giooschi@lemmy.world]

The fact that no widely used LLM is open source is not a good reason to change its meaning.

You are fighting a losing battle. I understand why you think that, but the organization that owns the trademarks of open source do not agree with. I also disagree with that organization's definition of open source AI, but they own the legal right to define the meaning of "open source" in the technology trade, the trade in which the trademark. But laws are laws and you either abide by them (as a corp, what are you gonna do?) or don't (fuck yeah, commit crimes).
