Everyone and their mother knows about DeepSeek

Everyone I interact talks about deepseek now. How it's scary, how it's better than Chatgpt, how it's open-source... But the fact is, 99.9% of these people (including myself) have no way to run 670b model (which actually is the model in hype) in manner that benefit from open-source. I mean just using their front end is no different from using free version of chatGPT. Heck, I hear news reporters talking about how great it is because it works freakishly well and it is an open-source. But in reality, its just open weight, no one have yet to replicate what they did. But why all the hype? Don't you feel this is too much? Honestly it starts to feel a bit sketchy.
