I'm glad we have deepseek

**Reddit post observing a trend of reduced openness among major Chinese AI labs, contrasting with DeepSeek's release practices.** The post notes that Kimi K2.5, GLM 5/5.1, and MiniMax M2.7 have withheld base models or delayed open weights, while Qwen 3.6 (397B) dropped open-weight release after Qwen 3.5 was open. DeepSeek is highlighted as an outlier that consistently releases base models, open weights at launch, and detailed architecture/training papers — though it does not produce small-scale models for edge/local deployment use cases.
