We now have a cheap EU hosted, privacy focused and censorship free Deepseek deployment


If you think New Year celebrations started on January 1, it depends on how you look at it — because in the AI world, the real fireworks went off in December with the release of DeepSeek V3. Now, DeepSeek R1 is lighting up the sky with open-source brilliance that’s making even the most entrenched Silicon Valley giants feel the heat.

Perhaps the biggest bombshell is DeepSeek V3’s permissive open-source license, allowing developers to download, tweak, and deploy the model freely — even for commercial projects. DeepSeek V3’s arrival marks the latest step in a critical shift: open-source AI is no longer playing catch-up; it’s inching ahead on key benchmarks and real-world applicability. After all, the Year of the Wood Snake signifies “a time of transformation, growth, and introspection.” This applies to both up-and-coming startups and established incumbents in the genAI space.
