Really unfortunate timing with Deepseek-R1 and the distills coming out at basically the same time. Hard for people to pay attention to, and plus open source > API, even if the results are a bit lower.
Yawn. This has been debated ad nauseam. If you want to feel that way it's up to you, but disclosing means and hidden information has never been a requirement for open source. As long as the thing is licensed under a permissive license (MIT in this case), and you can see the data, change the data and re-publish the data, it's open source.

DeepSeek is not open source, as the source of its 14.8T high quality training tokens is not disclosed.
At some point this becomes No True Scotsman. They have disclosed a lot
