Especially with switching.software, many alternatives are FOSS (and are labelled as such in their descriptions). I’ll edit the post text to highlight that.
But I also figured people in this community would be keen to know about other non-US alternatives that don’t yet have good FOSS counterparts.
You know, if the mainstream news spent this amount of oxygen explaining that it can be downloaded in various sizes and run securely, the whole world would be in a much better situation.
I am not saying that China don’t do some of the things they are accused of, but the amount of anti-China fear in Western nations is only hurting ourselves.
Yeah totally agree. He has proven to be one of the slimiest people on the scene. I mean, he is pretty much throwing his colleagues under the bus in this statement too lol

Ah interesting - cheers for sharing!
OpenAI was started to be as open as possible, and to prevent the kinds of capitalism-driven Closed-AI development that they have now themselves become.
My personal opinion is that closed AI systems are only good if the owners are trustworthy. And in the long-run, no single owner can be trusted. There are risks with letting everyone copy and customize AI, however the worse danger is that the power gets too centralized with one single company.
Open-Source in AI usually posted to HuggingFace instead of GitHub: https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1
Yeah it’s a fair call, but to me it is the very context of why people are made at Proton that makes me suspicious of articles like this.
I can’t find the original summary post someone made, but here’s the last response from Proton CEO. Read the comments as well to get a good summary: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i2nz9v/on_politics_and_proton_a_message_from_andy/
TL;DR: Proton used their official accounts to share CEO’s pro-US-Republican thoughts as their official stance. They since apologized and said they would use personal account to share those thoughts. But (IMO) now having posted this blog on the actual Proton website, it says to me that there are some serious bias alignment issues with a company that is supposed to be a safe-haven away from all of that.
Well you just made me choke on my laughter. Well done, well done.
This article is what US propaganda looks like folks. Mashable should be ashamed.
Literally all AI companies do this to run their services. Except you can actually download Deepseek and run it completely securely on your own devices. You know who doesn’t allow that security? OpenAI and the other US companies currently being screwed.
They actually can’t. Being open-source, it’s already proliferated. Apparently there are already over 500 derivatives of it on HuggingFace. The only thing that could be done is that each country in the West outlaws having a copy of it, like with other illegal materials. Even by that point, it will already be deep within business ecosystems across the globe.
Nup. OpenAI can be shut down, but it is almost impossible for R1 to go away at this point.
and it’s open-source!
Thanks for heads up! I’ve shared that link to my circles
