Running Deepseek locally feels like using the internet in the 90’s. Incredible possibilities. Can’t believe this is just… a computer.

How do you do that?

le dot.

Download Ollama. Download the AI model you want. Run it

Wow that’s so simple. Thank you!!!

you might require use of the cmd/terminal - let me know how you get on

Your computer specs? Which model? Can it get fairly up to date info from the internet still?

Depends on the model size, I think for good experience it needs at least 32-64gb vram

DOS

I feel i can’t use deepseek in good conscience because of the ties to china

why is that? mining of your data or another reason?

Partly the censorship

If you are using it for STEM, censorship shouldn’t be of concern

I had this feeling even with the 8b variant on MacBook Air M2 16GB.

Anyone else who have good experience with bigger variants, especially with bigger context window (coding tools) on Apple HW?
