The good thing is that a deepseek can be run locally relatively well with consumer hardware. I trust chinese companies as much as i trust american companies with my data and my prompts.
You have 170+ GB VRAM at home? (:
I mainly use DeepSeek v4 Flash now, it's the cheapest around and the quality is high enough for coding. At work we're throwing tons of money at Claude, but even there I usually stick to Sonnet (as Opus is burning money).
You don't need 170+ GB of VRAM. Whole model can be run at around 1 token/second on a modern hardware from an ssd. Which is slow, don't get me wrong, but it still somewhat useable.
"Somewhat" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there 😂 How much time does it take to process your average request?
