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.

Is it Open Source? I cannot find the source code. The official repository https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 only contains images, a PDF file, and links to download the model. But I don't see any code. What exactly is Open Source here?

I don't see the source either. Fair cop.

Thanks for confirmation. I made a top level comment too, because this important information gets lost in the comment hierarchy here.

Open source is in general wrong term in all of these "open source" LLM's (like LLAMA and R1), the model is shared, but there is no real way of reproducing the model. This is because the training data is never shared.

In my mind open source means that you can reproduce the same binary from source. The models are shared for free, but not "open".
