FYI: there are providers of deepseek that offer the same or lower pricing and zero retention policies.

Unfortunately, none with the same caching performance as DeepSeek proper.

It would be pretty wild if cloudflare or digital ocean opened themselves up to a massive lawsuit by doing this.

Do you have any evidence that cloud providers that don’t train their own models are violating their own contracts and risking their own good reputations by stealing data?

But you trust Anthropic not do that?!

DeepSeek is really crazy cheap, though, and they don't have a giant pool of other invasive personal data to correlate it with.

I hate to say this and this is because I fucking despise meta. But between DeepSeek and Meta, and trust they handle the training data correctly, I trust meta.

Right about DeepSeek, but with their history of handling data, I would never trust Meta either.

What do you mean by "correctly"?

For example, OpenCode says they have a ZDR with DeepSeek. Some of us are skeptical that's going to be properly honored. There's no way to know.
