I'm not even in to this shit and I'm going to download it right now because fuck those assholes.

[–] YarHarSuperstar 11 points 11 hours ago (14 children)

Can someone explain briefly what I need to download that might not be available if this comes to pass? Like I did some searching and I saw stuff about Ollama but it wasn't completely clear if that would be affected by this.

Technically this isn't the case. These are Deepseek distilled with Qwen and Llama depending on the weight, so they are no longer Deepseek.

@[email protected] this is the official, extremely large, one. https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1

holy shit, you weren't kidding when you said it was large.

[–] Evotech 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well yes, it does specifically say so in the link. There's also one with the full model in what I linked

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh nice, when Ollama first had this up I don't think the 671b model was there. I stand corrected on that!

[–] YarHarSuperstar 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

So if I download this and somehow there is no longer a way to access the model online this will still work? I'm just a bit confused because I read a couple things that made it seem like even though the model is running locally it still needs a connection for some reason, if that isn't true I'm sorry for the dumb question.

[–] Evotech 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

On first run it downloads the model, then you just run it locally

[–] YarHarSuperstar 3 points 9 hours ago

Thank you, that answers my question exactly.

So if I get a new computer in a few months it will no loner work. Maybe we can VPN into Sweden?

I assume you know you can transfer files from one pc to a other?

[–] zecg 3 points 6 hours ago

Jeeez, just copy the ollama's directory (something like .ollama) from user's dir to wherever. You can check and find the files inside. I find the published 14b really useful, it's ten GB that think and reason in english.
