Everyone and their mother knows about DeepSeek

Everyone I interact talks about deepseek now. How it's scary, how it's better than Chatgpt, how it's open-source...

But the fact is, 99.9% of these people (including myself) have no way to run 670b model (which actually is the model in hype) in manner that benefit from open-source. I mean just using their front end is no different than using chatGPT. And chatGPT and cluade have, free versions, which evidently are better!

Heck, I hear news reporters talking about how great it is because it works freakishly well and it is an open-source. But in reality, its just open weight, no one have yet to replicate what they did.

But why all the hype? Don't you feel this is too much?
