On the framing of Deepseek

It seems that DeepSeek can’t be mentioned without referring to it being developed by a Chinese team 🤔

This rarely applies to the efforts of US or European teams however! How often do you hear “American ChatGPT” or “GPT-4o from the United States”? The answer is rarely, only if it adds neccessary context.

Yet DeepSeek is almost always framed in generalised national terms, as if it represents an entire country of 1.4 billion people!! It’s worth asking ourselves why the same framing isn’t consistently applied to western models.

My advice would be to keep a clear head when considering any technology, regardless of its origin.
