4 months ago
Perplexity AI has launched a self-hosted version of the Chinese DeepSeek R1 reasoning model for Pro users. The announcement faced backlash due to concerns about data accessibility to the Chinese government and censorship. CEO Aravind Srinivas clarified that all DeepSeek usage occurs in data centers in the USA and Europe, ensuring no data goes to China. While the model can be downloaded for local use, it may be censored based on its training data.
