Why wouldn’t it be?

#4Love that Microsoft is getting behind this actually good model

#5This is exciting.
Is there a free version of DeepSeek R1 that's completely US based, so we're not sending data to China? I guess you can use this to deploy it, but I'm asking for an application that would be safer to use if you're concerned about Chinese influence.

#6How's the pricing as compared to official API or openrouter providers?

#7This is bizarre to see the entire AI hype cycle speedrun all over on just DeepSeek.
I'm trying to square the excitement over DeepSeek with its good -but not dominant- performance in evals.

Previously choosing a top tier AI model tied you to what that provider wanted to do with hosting the model long term and the pricing they wanted to charge for it. Now you can get the same model anywhere with GPU, hosted or not, for minimal cost overhead to what it takes to run the model itself. You're also free to tune, retrain, or otherwise mess with the model as you see fit without needing approval.
The excitement is probably a bit much but it's not just about the eval results themselves but the baggaged attached with them.

#10I don't understand the hype because I'm out of the loop. Is the only advantage the lower hardware requirements, thus cost? Is there something I'm missing?
