HuggingChat is open source and lets you use DeepSeek. It also doesn't censor results like the main app (allegedly) does.
Nothing alleged about it. The main app wraps your prompt in a China-friendly one - at this point, I think people have mined the prompt itself? Scummy, sure, but it's also the same way that literally every other online AI service works.
I asked it about whether the takeover of Hong Kong was met with international criticism. First I saw an answer saying yes, and a few paragraphs of examples and elaborations.
A few minutes later the answer I already saw was replaced with "sorry, that's outside of my scope." I think with the flood of new traffic to Deepseek, they are scaling up reviews of chat content.
The same thing happened in ChatGPT when I asked something borderline NSFW.
Would be interested in any additional info on this.
Common sense detected, proper authority has been notified, shitlord
Very misleading, it lets you use the lighter, watered-down version (Deepseek 32B) compared to the large impressive model they have (Deepseek 671B)
Annoyingly, some of the censorship is baked into the model, it still won't answer all question about china.
It has standard censorship baked into all llms when it is self hosted
This is amazing!
