*Western AI companies are terrified

Anyway, what do you all think of the news?

Video is 8 minutes and 30 seconds long if you're interested.

Is it true that the DeepSeek models and that other AI model (I forgot the name already lol) can be run locally? How do they compete with Claude and OpenAI?

Also, what about that other AI thing, OpenClaw?

I am interested in AI but still very much skeptical.

I have only used Duck AI sometimes but try to avoid it.

Why use the term "open-weight"?

Why not say "open-source"?

Is there a difference?

According to the Open Source Initiative:

Open Weights differ significantly from Open Source AI because they do not include:

  1. Training code – The scripts or frameworks used to create and curate the training dataset.

  2. Training dataset – The full dataset used for training, when legally possible. As an alternative, when distribution of the training dataset is not legally possible,

    1. Comprehensive data transparency – Full details about dataset composition, such as source domains, cleaning methods, or balancing techniques.

I think its because the training data is not accessible, but you should fact check my claim
