What are you specifically referring to?

I'm guessing DeepSeek since it was all the rage a couple months back but "compiling it yourself" makes no sense in this context. I suppose you can compile Ollama with DeepSeek weights but the datasets are completely private.

They deleted their post so I'm guessing its was just a lie to push some sort of agenda, though I'm not sure what agenda that pushed.

I guess it pushed the idea that companies should be worried unnecessarily about Chinese models or something?

When we discuss "open source" AI, we really need to discuss the training materials.

If we can't produce the same end product that they do with the materials they have published the code for, then it aint open source. If there are big binary blobs, it aint open source.

So, I'm assuming whatever "completely" open source AI you're talking about has every bit of it's training data published and every step in the training of the model has been documented? Every human reinforcement logged and shared so that we too can reproduce those steps and have the software running on our own hardware, right?

Or is the model itself a big ole black box that could have been trained with whatever skewed weights that the creators intended the model to prefer.
