DeepSeek promises to share even more AI code in a rare step

By making its coding secrets freely available, DeepSeek is helping to ensure wider adoption of its technology, which is already spurring concerns about security among governments from the US to Australia. — Reuters

Chinese AI sensation DeepSeek plans to release key codes and data to the public starting this week, an unusual step to share more of its core technology than rivals such as OpenAI have done.

The 20-month-old startup, which surprised Silicon Valley with the sophistication of its AI models last month, plans to make its code repositories available to all developers and researchers. That allows anyone to download and build on or improve the code behind the well-regarded R1 or other platforms, it said in a post on X.
