Using DeepSeek at work is like ‘printing out and handing over your confidential information’ (www.itpro.com)

Thinking of using DeepSeek at work? Think again. Cybersecurity experts have warned you're putting your enterprise at huge risk.

The model itself does not contain spyware nor is it filtered. Using the models locally (via ollama or llama.cpp) or in a secure hosted environment like AWS bedrock is safe. I was DeepSeek that way all the time.

I would never ever recommend using DeepSeek or Alibaba’s Qwen service though!

Ya, fair point. If you put your data on someone else's computer, it's no longer your data.

What about using those services to debug thoroughly shitty personal projects? I have no issue with the Chinese getting their hands on my terrible code as they subsidize my computer science education. It's crazy how cheap even their reasoner is. Kinda feels like Google/other providers should have their APIs subsidized to the level of Chinas tbh.
