    Personally, I find myself using the Chinese alternatives more and more as they are just way cheaper.

      The good thing is that a deepseek can be run locally relatively well with consumer hardware. I trust chinese companies as much as i trust american companies with my data and my prompts.

      Theres a lot of good models free online that are open source/Chinese and the only cost is a bit of slowness on my rig. No token limit or whatever. Totally agree.

      Its about as good as commercial products now…
