Apparently DeepSeek is lying, they were collecting thousands of NVIDIA chips against the US embargo and it's not about the algorithm. The model's good results come just from sheer chip volume and energy used. That's the story I've heard and honeslty it sounds legit.

Not sure if this questions has been answered though: if it's open sourced, cant we see what algorithms they used to train it? If we could then we would know the answer. I assume we cant, but if we cant, then whats so cool about it being open source on the other hand? What parts of code are valuable there besides algorithms?

Sounds legit is what one hears about FUD spread by alglophone media every time the US oligarchy is caught with their pants down.

Snowden: "US is illegally spying on everyone"

Media: Snowden is Russia spy

*Sounds legit

France: US should not unilaterally invade a country

Media: Iraq is full of WMDs

*Sounds legit

DeepSeek: Guys, distillation and body of experts is a way to save money and energy, here's a paper on how to do same.

Media: China bad, deepseek must be cheating

*Sounds legit

Russia wasn't his final destiny. He was en route to somewhere else when his passport was revoked.
