Interesting that they are doubling down on censorship ("safety and robustness"), given that a major advantage of DeepSeek is its lack of refusals in deployed variants and open weights (can't patch-in more censorship in weights after the fact).

It's amazing how much they talk about anti-jailbreaking measures; I can't think of any other class of product that actively tries to stop users doing what they want to do.

Kind of like an ai “thinking fast and thinking slow”.

Sort of? I don't see why thinking slow should inhibit the ability to follow instructions.

I think they're referencing "Thinking, Fast and Slow" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow

"The book's main thesis is a differentiation between two modes of thought: "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. "

Yes, I understand the reference. I don't understand their argument that this is a good example of that common mental model for LLMs.

In this case "fast, instinctive, and emotional" models are better at instruction following than "slower, more deliberative, and more logical" models.
