#1 downloaded “free app” is DeepSeek AI Assistant.

There is nothing free about your data being fed to a CCP machine.

Enjoy a quick stroll through the privacy policy. 😅

You’re telling me my beloved TikTok, RedNote and DeepSeek are bad?! 🥹

😅

better that than the Mossad machine.

This is why I stay away from all AI assistants. They are all a privacy nightmare - some just more than others.

Same. I don’t want anything to do with the “helper”

I use Perplexity everyday and everytime.

I stopped Google (DuckDuckGo) thinks.

It just so much better and i´m way more productive.

But you´re absolutly right it´s a privacy nightmare and i want a FOSS version of an Ai App.

Wooof.

The app is closed source.

What does that mean?

You can't verify what the software is doing.

How can any AI be different?

You can self host open source models.

I thought this was open source and that was part of the big deal?

Their models are open source but their app isn't. You can self host open source models in an app like Jan on your desktop. https://jan.ai

Recording key strokes. Nice.

I was trying it out a few weeks ago and my account got suspended. Not sure if it was because I use a VPN or because I was asking bitcoin related questions.

Why would you use the app if you can run it locally?

https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1

exactly - it seems like it is censored on the UI layer, not in the model.

I just tried the same prompt locally:

Nice! Did you run it on your own machine?

Hey, yes, I did, runs well with ollama.com and webui 👌

Nice, did you use the r1:1.5b?

nn, if you look at the top of my screenshot - it is 70b

Ahh true. Well I think it requires more hardware than I got haha

#opensourceeverything

I use it via https://ppq.ai

Sure, they'll still get my data, but they don't know from whom. And paying 1 cent per query via lightning beats the hell out of making an account and paying a subscription.

Dammmmnnnnn

Your IP has been logged in their database. Glowing orb drone is on it’s way to your house. 😂

Answer was correct for part of a second.

Nothing to see here

I get a correct answer when I run the model locally

Yeap

So, another useless AI.

Works without issue on venice.ai
