They're so screwed if they get into a price war with Deepseek and undermine their own paid models to retain users, lol
But you got do what you gota do when desperate to placate investors flooding him with calls about Deekseek.
You know, everyone kinda made an implicit assumption that Deepseek is releasing and open-sourcing their latest models as they come out, and that they make all their money from their trading business, but how valid is that assumption?
Because if Deepseek, a private for-profit company, did not infact open-source their latest models as it comes out, and infact gives Chinese gov or corporate users confidential paid access to their actual latest models....
