Please daddy Trump what can you do to stop Chinese AI progress from making me less filthy rich?! It’s a disgrace to be less filthy rich!

Democrats: “Please for the love of God, don’t vote for us ever again! We really, really don’t want to win.”

To add a tiny bit to what was already explained by Takumidesh: you do actually download quite a bit of data to run it locally. The “smaller” 14b model I used was a 9GB download. The 32b one is 20GB and being all “text”, that’s a lot of information.

Guys it’s just the eggs that they have to use in the streaming production factory. Every streaming uses a half dozen eggs to manufacture. It’s actually really expensive!

I’m not all that knowledgeable either lol it is my understanding though that what you download, the “model,” is the results of their training. You would need some other way to train it. I’m not sure how you would go about doing that though. The model is essentially the “product” that is created from the training.

Absolutely! I was just expanding on what you said for others who come across the thread :)

If you’re running it on your own system it isn’t connected to their server or sharing any data. You download the model and run it on your own hardware.

From the thread I was reading people tracked packets outgoing and it seemed to just be coming from the chatbot program as analytics, not anything going to deepseek.

You can also just run deepseek locally if you are really concerned about privacy. I did it on my 4070ti with the 14b distillation last night. There’s a reddit thread floating around that described how to do with with ollama and a chatbot program.

Stocks take a hit with new foreign competition and they are immediately attacked. Coincidence I’m sure lol

“We will deport you too if you sign up to deepseek!”
