Of course! I think I've been particularly cynical about stuff being named open source because of OpenAI.
I use LLMs through Perplexity and GitHub CoPilot all the time, but I'm still too spiteful and petty to use anything from "Open"AI. I've been very happy with R1 so far.
This comment here seems to summarize it well: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/issues/457#issuecomment-2627016777
It's more open-sourced than I thought, but also seems debatable. I don't know enough about LLMs to properly judge. I would probably stay away from calling it "completely open-sourced" though.
Unfortunately, as I've learned recently, it doesn't look like Deepseek is actually open source.
You can download the model, but unless I'm misunderstanding, that feels comparable to calling Photoshop open source because you can download the .exe file on your computer.
So what is :q! For?
That's been my experience too, unfortunately.
I do see that .ml has lots of regular users too, but in addition, the tankies are almost exclusively there.
I'm not an electrician, but I recall that this video explains it pretty well (along with other interesting things): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_q-xnYRugQ
I don't think that's who they were calling Russia.
I, for one, haven't seen people over-using the word "tankie", I haven't seen people getting called tankies for the reason alone that they are leftists or even communists.
However, I've seen many tankies insisting that the word is meaningless or that it just means anybody on the left.
People I've seen using the word tankie have been surprisingly consistent about who they call a tankie: supporters of authoritarianism, especially Putin and the CCP.
