No, DeepSeek isn’t uncensored if you run it locally.

Everything that comes from China is censored, because private companies must apply to the Chinese censorship laws.

Is it really worth it building yet another model?

Yes, it is, and it has to do with independence and many other reasons. It’ll be multilingual, legally compliant, it comes without Chinese nor other censorship, it is open source unlike Deepseek, ChatGPT, and others.

Here is a much better way for Europe’s tech firms to catch up in global AI race (spoiler: a multilingual, fully open source, law-compliant, democratic and homegrown LLM): https://slrpnk.net/post/17978607

Ah, a troll.

?

This is pure guesswork. What makes you think it will not be fully open source for now?

And who has said here that OpenAI/ChatGPT is open source? This hype around open source has only been around with Deepseek recently (although it is really not open as we know).

Back in July 2024, investigators leaked documents showing the correspondence between officers of Russia’s foreign intelligence agency (SVR) responsible for “information warfare” with the West. The exiled Russian media outlet published a report on that. It’s very illuminating:

“Morality and ethics should play no part”: Leaks reveal how Russia’s foreign intelligence agency runs disinformation campaigns in the West

The leaked documents, intended for various government agencies, reveal the Kremlin’s strategy: spreading disinformation on sensitive Western topics, posting falsehoods while posing as radical Ukrainian and European political forces (both real and specially created), appealing to emotions — primarily fear — over rationality, and utilizing new internet platforms instead of outdated ones like RT and Sputnik. The documents also detail localized campaigns against Russian émigrés, including efforts to discredit a fundraiser for Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation who had moved to the United States.

Is this going to be another misnomer for a model that isn’t actually open? The quote doesn’t give me much hope.

The quote says it will be fully open. What makes you think it will not?

Done, sorry.

Sorry, it’s corrected now.
