Well, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source. Technically, it's just "open-weights" as I described in my recent post: whytryai.com/p/open-sou…, but so are Meta's Llama models and many other so-called "open-source" models.
Llama 3 was also on my list of "free LLMs" here: whytryai.com/i/14620062…

Well, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source. Technically, it's just "open-weights" as I described in my recent post: https://www.whytryai.com/p/open-source-vs-closed-source-ai, but so are Meta's Llama models and many other so-called "open-source" models.

But I can't say I use open-source models too much myself. They don't really have the same full-fledged interface as e.g. ChatGPT or Claude, so I don't find myself gravitating towards them for my needs. That might change in the future, though.
Thanks for your reply.
