DeepSeek To Share Some AI Model Code (reuters.com) 13
Chinese startup DeepSeek will make its models' code publicly available, it said on Friday, doubling down on its commitment to open-source artificial intelligence. From a report: The company said in a post on social media platform X that it will open source 5 code repositories next week, describing the move as "small but sincere progress" that it will share "with full transparency."
"These humble building blocks in our online service have been documented, deployed and battle-tested in production." the post said. DeepSeek rattled the global AI industry last month when it released its open-source R1 reasoning model, which rivaled Western systems in performance while being developed at a lower cost.

Lots of things I dislike about the Chinese leadership, but at least they aren't chanting "We don't need no stinkin' facts." I think they understand that too much of the virtual value of America is detached from reality and the facts, and they are looking for and finding easy ways to subvert our imaginary numbers. Blackmail next? "Sure would be a shame if something bad happened to your market cap..."
But the Chinese have a long-term perspective. They think the normal state of the world is with China on top. T

That's because they don't let facts get out in the first place. Taiwan a sovereign country? No way that gets said. Hong Kong should have a democratically elected government? Bzzzzt. Hundreds of people were killed in Tiananmen Square by government troops? Don't even think it.

I'm waiting with bated breath for a certain orange buffoon to rename the East and West America Oceans. Then the North America Ocean and he'll just have to invade to complete his bingo card.

Code analysis prediction: obfuscated backdoors and problems. Just like we saw with their iOS App.
And likely signatures of Russian programmers, because the Chinese haven't created anything new in >3000 years. Look at their film industry, they're still wanking off to the Legend of the Monkey Spanking-It King.

Seriously? Tiananmen Square is still censored from basic search results because "we don't need no stinking facts".
There are bookshelves pf graduate dissertations to write debating the merits and foresight of the CCP strategy since liberalizing the economy - but the malleability of facts and history has been core to the national strategy since the cultural revolution.

You should get your facts straight. Or do you think they renamed it? Perhaps the new Chinese name is Gate of Devilish War? Now if you were searching in Chinese it might mean something.
I don't actually read Chinese, though I get some "free overlap coverage" from Japanese. (Like the coffee shop yesterday? I would have bought coffee there, but no charging, so I wound up across the street--and I felt bad about using their Wi-Fi.) But my guess from your proud ignorance is that you're American.
