Isn't Deepseek chinese?
Chinese or not, it's MIT licensed. A world where any company can spend ~$10k to locally deploy a frontier reasoning model is very different from one where you can only get AI via API access to a handful of US tech giants.
Or... maybe we could not do that? Just saying? And instead focus on actually studying true AI and its implications at every level instead of just developing propaganda machines with the consumers' money?
It's already being done. Both mistal and Fraunhofer have released models for language (and vision I think) that are already being used extensively in research. One of Fraunhofer's in particular is one of the best multilingual tool I've seen and I won't be surprised when it's adopted by the EU institutionally (that is if Microsoft doesn't go on a ~~bribe~~ lobbying run again to stop that from happening)
