Deepseek is now the leading community on Hugging Face sort of AI app store and offered by all hyperscalers including Microsoft. Perplexity uses Deepseek.

It is also safer then OpenAI. This last point would be a challenge to those brainwashed folks who trust a US actor with Ex Defense Board members and closed system more then a open weights system run on private servers

Hi Moon, thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay! Yes the irony is that you can run deepseek on a home computer! I laughed at a video the other day of a guy running a more limited version of DeepSeek on a MacBook Pro with a high-speed external drive. It was hilarious because it worked!

The point of this is that any small company or developing nation can now afford the compute to run a full-on genAI without the cost of a license. This is absolutely key and as to security, I agree its safer than giving big tech all of your data!
