Your message didn’t make it clear that self-hosting removes Chinese bias and censorship.

Why would I have to include that? OP asked if DeepSeek can be trusted. DeepSeek is the online cat interface--which is what OP was referring to. If they meant the model specifically they would have (or should have) referenced the model specifically which is DeepSeek-Chat or DeepSeek-Reasoner / DeepSeek-R1. If they did mean the model itself, then that's their error. Not mine. Specificity is important.
