DeepSeek the software is open source (MIT license).
Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price.

truly open source solutions for AI
from China. China doesn‘t seem very keen on open source as a whole to be honest. That is unless they can monetize on open source projects from outside of China. Their companies love doing that.

Unless the dataset, weighting, and every aspect is open source, it’s not truly open source, as the OSI defines it.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Bullshit, the dataset is massive, and a dataset may include bias. You would always want to use a dataset that fir your needs.

no,
your changing the definition of open source software. which has been around a lot longer than AI has.
source code is what defines open source.
what deepseek has is open weights. they publish the results of their learning only. not the source that produced it.

same with qwen, ernie, minimax, and kimi
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It‘s open weights but definitely not
truly open source
Feel free to blame the technology as a whole but open source doesn‘t make exceptions for AI models.

Alibaba has released Qwen models under Apache licenses (and they are some of the best models that can reasonably be ran locally). Some argue that models aren’t really open source unless the training code and datasets are made available though.

They are releasing lots of open weight models. If you want to run AI stuff on your own hardware, Chinese models are generally the best.
They also don’t care about copyright law/licensing, so going forward they will be training their models on more material than Western companies are legally able to.

DeepSeek being an LLM is far from open source and especially not „truly“ open. The very article you linked basically says as much but wraps it in pretty words. Talking about ignorance.

Yes I found out I was wrong, and I thought I had edited most of the wrong posts claiming deepseek is open source.
You are right it isn’t, despite articles claiming it is.
