Trade secrets are confidential business information, like formulas, processes, or customer lists, that provide a company with a competitive edge and are protected by law when reasonable efforts are made to maintain their secrecy.
"Two months on from its release, DeepSeek’s R1, which wowed experts and caused American tech stocks to crash in January, is still unbeaten. The Chinese firm’s artificial-intelligence (AI) model remains the best open-source offering released by any lab, anywhere in the world. Back home it has spread like wildfire. It is catching on in the rest of the world as well.
The value offered by DeepSeek’s open-source models is hard to ignore. They can be used by coders without asking permission or paying a fee, and can be downloaded and run on a company’s own hardware if it wishes to do so for performance or privacy reasons. That puts DeepSeek in a different category to more technically impressive but closed labs like OpenAI.
Some companies in the West have already begun to adopt DeepSeek’s models, which are now supported by cloud providers including Amazon and Microsoft. Gloo, a messaging platform for churches founded by Pat Gelsinger, who until December was the chief executive of Intel, has used the model as the basis for its chatbot. Latenode, an automation platform, began offering R1 shortly after the model was launched, noting that its support for non-English languages was appealing to content marketers looking to translate material.
Meta, DeepSeek’s main open-source rival, has assigned researchers to pull apart R1 and apply the lessons to its own family of Llama models.
Perhaps surprisingly, European banks have emerged as a hotbed of experimentation. Strict confidentiality rules limit how much the financial sector can rely on cloud-based AI services. That makes open-source models hosted internally an attractive alternative. Natwest and HSBC, two British lenders, are both experimenting with building their services on top of R1, as is Spain’s BBVA, according to the Information, a news site." [1]
Conclusion - use the best open source AI models (today - DeepSeek), run on your own hardware.
