Article: https://proton.me/blog/deepseek

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.

DeepSeek is open source, but is it safe?

These guys are in the open source business themselves, they should know the answer to this question.

Has anyone actually analyzed the source code thoroughly yet? I've seen a ton of reporting on its open source nature but nothing about the detailed nature of the source.

FOSS only = safe if the code has been audited in depth.

A few of my friends who are a lot more knowledgeable about LLMs than myself are having a good look over the next week or so. It'll take some time, but I'm sure they will post their results when they are done (pretty busy times unfortunately).

I'll do my best to remember to come back here with a link or something when I have more info 😊

That said, hopefully someone else is also taking a look and we can get a few different perspectives.
