DeepSeek slaps OpenAI, tech stocks crash - awful.systems

Servers must be having a hell of a time since I can’t get a verification code sent to my email 😆

Like, it’s not even THAT much better. I mean, not so much so that everyone should flood it lmao. The main plus was no restriction on tokens used, but that’s useless when it’s getting overloaded all the time.

I would say it’s just barely noticeably better than the free tier of GPT. Which makes it a little annoying to go back but w/e.

Can’t people run it locally supposedly?
The 671B model although ‘open sourced’ is a 400+GB download and is definitely not runnable on household hardware.

What? You don’t have a spare $6,000 to run nonsense generators at home? Peasant…

Complete hardware + software setup for running Deepseek-R1 locally. The actual model, no distillations, and Q8 quantization for full quality. Total cost, $6,000. All download and part links below:

Really sorry about this but this sounds like the premise to a shitty boomer joke:

“If I wanted to spend another 6000 for a home nonsense generator, I’d get married again!”

etc.

Not people who can’t afford 100k to spin up their own servers. It’s going to be a game changer for AI startups and such though who won’t have to spend as much as previously thought.
