    One of the main features of Deepseek is that you can run it yourself. It doesn’t matter if Deepseek are based in China if you run the model on your own servers and thus guarantee that your data doesn’t leave your own data center.

      True but you can run Linux on your own machine but it doesn’t stop anyone from paying AWS or Microsoft to handle it for them.

        Yes but people will pay redhat Linux to use a distro with support. Also almost the entire US internet server infrastructure runs on Linux.

        So yeah a company can provide an open source product with commercial support

            Bizarre, I guess their business has been running on hopes and dreams instead of money for the past 30 years lol.

        Give it 6 months and Amazon will be running this model for you “serverless” with a code name making it seem like their own product.
