The European Comission has granted €20 million to STEP, the European consortium that will create the AI model. It will be open source, European regulations-compliant and unlike Deepseek, its dataset will also be open source and will be trained in 35 languages.
Mmh, okay that makes sense. Especially the multilinguality would be pretty important. As for the legality, we’ll see how it goes. Do we even know if it’s really possible to build a good model with only legally acquired data?
As for the censorship, as far as I know, for DeepSeek’s models it’s injected in the prompt after the training is completed, so it shouldn’t really be censored if you run it locally.
But yeah, you have raised good points. Thanks.
No, DeepSeek isn’t uncensored if you run it locally.
Everything that comes from China is censored, because private companies must apply to the Chinese censorship laws.
The local version could be theoretically be uncensored through abliteration tho
Understood, thanks 👍
