While technically correct for deepseek also incorrect. I use deepseek through open router and I specifically use providers that do not collect chat logs.

Open source babbbbyyy

you can also, like, run it locally which will send precisely jackshit to anyone else

True, although I lack the 768 GB of RAM to run the full model.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

so don't run the full model, condensed models are still fine

or are we really going to act like children who want their new shiny toy and won't accept anything less?

Yes I do want the best, suppose I'm a child.

I'd rather spend pennies and send technical logs to a 3rd party inference provider than run a cut down model at still quite slow speeds on my own hardware.

How did this data get gathered? Because my full chat history with chatgpt is available on the site but history doesn't show up for it here.

Thats just what they tell you. All of them collect everything, thats one of the many reason why you shouldnt use them.

What about leChat?

That's what we can verify. I have a feeling that Grok collects much more, but secretly.
