@@johnnyq4260 as with all “miracles” of Chinese Technology, the foundations are based on rampant IP theft, look at Huawei who plundered Nortel’s tech since the mid 90s. Now Nortel barely exists. While the code might be open source, the chips or backend is likely based on stolen or reverse engineered tech. If DeepSeek was truly homegrown, the R&D would have cost heaps more.

@@johnnyq4260 The hardware is certainly not open-source! When a thief genuinely steals from you wouldn’t you get upset? China blocks a bunch of North American things like YouTube. I think North America should do the same for all things designed in China!

Was China suppose to share this information with the West lol? The fact they even shared this…and it’s open source… I’m more skeptical on what else it’s in the works. Regardless of what you believe about the cost of the model, but the more efficient training method of AI is undeniably smart and shows brains over bronze is still the way in the so called “chip war”.

It feels like that because western social media is not really built to analyze Chinese text for information, and so fails to recommend any news from there (I mean even if they did recommend it it would still be difficult for many people here to read).
So there’s a form of a news filter here that’s just due to the recommendation engines not being able to check content across language.

Remember Nortel? No? That’s because China hacked the heck out of them and took all their IP to advance Huawei tech. If you use things designed in China then you’re likely supporting IP theft.

I think it’s 80% PR spin. If I put on my tinfoil hat, I would guess that:
1) DeepSeek has far more NVIDIA chips (acquired illegally) than they acknowledge.
2) The “super cheap model development” story is basically a lie, and designed to explain how they could achieve this “breakthrough” on so few chips. I think they spent FAR more money than they admit.
3) The story about them being hacked is a ruse to cover up the fact that they can’t handle the user traffic.
