I respectfully disagree. The analysis provides much more input that Deepseek’s press release claiming its USD 5m budget (and some other points -e.g. of being Open Source while it isn’t, and other points.)
From an article on an AI summit in Europe with such a title I would have expected that Eurooean LLM projects are at least mentioned.

The guys at Hugging Face are working on a more open model based on Deepseek as they also claim it is not fully Open Source.
Thank you for stating that “@[email protected] is likely a paid actor” being baseless. It indeed is, although your hint is not too friendly.
