They’re gonna have a hard time making it illegal to download a completely open source software lol
Unfortunately, as I’ve learned recently, it doesn’t look like Deepseek is actually open source.
You can download the model, but unless I’m misunderstanding, that feels comparable to calling Photoshop open source because you can download the .exe file on your computer.
Its MIT licensed. Meaning the code is open but the license is permissible in that copy’s can be subsequently closed. This is unlike with the GPL most generally associated with open source code.
The weights are MIT licensed. The code is, too, but code for these things are uninteresting.
The training data is not open source, and that’s the interesting part of a model.
Oh I thought we just did Executive Orders these days. Interesting for Congress to want to be in the pocket of the three richest men in the United States, too.
Because prohibition works, right?
Damn. Okay, everyone that’s already grabbed a copy off of Ollama needs to upload it back.
