DeepSeek launched a free, open-source large language model in late December, claiming it was developed in just two months at a cost of under $6 million.
Yeah it’ll be exciting to see where this goes, i.e. if it really develops into a useful tool, for certain. Though I’m slightly cautious non-the less. It’s not doing something significantly different (i.e. it’s still an LLM), it’s just a lot cheaper/efficient to train, and open for everyone (which is great).
Even o1 (which AFAIK is roughly on par with R1-671B) wasn’t really helpful for me. I just need often (actually all the time) correct answers to complex problems and LLMs aren’t just capable to deliver this.
I still need to try it out whether it’s possible to train it on my/our codebase, such that it’s at least possible to use as something like Github copilot (which I also don’t use, because it just isn’t reliable enough, and too often generates bugs). Also I’m a fast typer, until the answer is there and I need to parse/read/understand the code, I already have written a better version.

What’s this “if” nonsense? I loaded up a light model of it, and already have put it to work.
Have you actually read my text wall?
