I'm not too informed about DeepSeek. Is it real open-source, or fake open-source?
It’s semi-open, not fully open source as what is typically thought of.
That sounds like fake open-source. Can I download the source, build it, have the thing run locally on my own machine, and use it without it having to interact with this company's servers?
You can’t built it yourself but you can download the model and run it locally on your machine without it interacting to any server.
There is a community-driven project aimed at making a fully reproducible version called Open-R1. You can find it at https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1.
