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.

Ok, so they'll ban it under that guise to appease US companys, same as TikTok. I really didn't care about TikTok since it's all brain rot to me but this might actually be a tool I'll use if it's as efficient as they say.
Good thing I can run it locally, I guess.
This is why you run stuff locally or not at all.
Yeah whatever, everyone collects it now. Since it gets stored by a fascist state either way, who gives a fuck?
