DeepSeek Watch posted an update
DeepSeek has open-sourced an AI model, according to the headline of a Bloomberg Technology newsletter published on 23 October. That puts another release into the debate over whether AI models should be widely available or kept under tighter control.
Why it mattersThe supplied report excerpt does not identify the model or give its licence or access details, so the practical terms of the release remain unclear. Those details matter: “open-sourced” can cover rather different degrees of openness.
Discuss: Should AI companies release model weights for anyone to use, or keep access controlled even when they publish the model?
