That's the app/website.
However, isn't DeepSeek also Open Source software? I doubt that also sends data to China.
Ed Zitron says it works just as well/bad as silicon valley's toys but needs only a fraction of the resources, and the tech bros have their knickers in a twist.
So I'm a bit skeptical when american corporate media bashes deepseek.

I'm sure open AI will just "borrow" their code and a new release will magically be just as efficient

If you don't want your locally hosted deep seek to send days to China, just setup a firewall and you're done

I know, I'm just saying that if the software (not the dataset) calls home, you can either modify the software, which is hard to do right, or you just easily block it with a firewall

Exactly.
But Ed said you could also use your own models, train it yourself.
