I do get some refusal from GLM when pentesting my company's site.

But it can still be coaxed to agree though.

I use it at work. It's dirt cheap, blazing fast, and is more than enough for most coding work.

If you live in a country with a weak currency, DeepSeek models are definitely a godsend.

Oh okay, good for you.

Personally the article reads to me like a international spy thriller short story, so until they disclose some evidence I'll just file this under "Americans flinging shit at each other" directory lol.

People can mask their lies using their prior honest reputation. If anything this kind of lie can be more damaging.

I'm not saying VF is lying in this case, it could all be true, but extraordinary claims do require extraordinary evidence.

> recruited a spy from GRU that handed over the data.

Isn't that kinda bad for their health? Polonium intake is unhealthy.

I'm not an American so don't take this the wrong way, but Jared's response to the tweet, that the story is fabricated because of how complicated it is and VanityFair disclosed no evidences, should be considered as well.

They've consistently open-sourced their secret sauce since the beginning: https://github.com/orgs/deepseek-ai/repositories?type=all

I don't understand why this is strange to you, some people just do things out of personal satisfaction and/or building their legacy. If it's just money, Deepseek founders are already rich because they have a hedge fund company (High-flyer).

This is silly, people do inspect weights and prune/abliterate/whatever them

Also open weight models reveal their thinking, not to mention you can airgap the network around them.

Certainly a lot less compared to closed weights :)

I'm curious, are projects like Linux "virtue signaling" to you?

> bad time

Regardless of the performance metrics... why bad time?

Deepseek is more like a pet project with huge state backing, and they don't seem to compete with Anthropic in terms of profitability.

This article reads to me like that "leave the multibillion dollar company alone" meme

They've been making their own 5g phones since 2023 (mate 60)

What a strange sarcasm, nobody's forcing Qualcomm to do this.
