I believe that open weight models like deep seek will potentially make closed source AI labs obsolete. This is because open weight models have been proven to protect user privacy as the request is fulfilled through internal programming, whereas closed source AI labs will send the question through to external places to fulfill the request. This means that outside sources will be able to see the users request and history, which could leak user information while an open weight models such as DeepSeek and ChatGPT. It is answered internally and use a privacy is protected.

A gut feeling does not stand convincing against scientifically proven facts.  close apps can offer support and update but weight models are also able to do that with efficient, speed and high accuracy. open Weight models also have access to more sources to support the information they give you and can do everything close weight models can

The negative team argues that big companies need another company sent behind the tool when something goes wrong. While this is a valid concern, open weight models are backed up by many layers of code and receive significant funding, which make sure they do not malfunction or go off-line. Government are continuous investing more and more money annually to fund research on artificial intelligence, and much of that goes towards big companies with open weight models like DeepSeek.
