In this case, I think the concern about security is overly paranoid. DeepSeek isn't just some unknown nickname of a random developer on GitHub, it's a legitimate company that has made headlines, has a known CEO, publishes research, and is actively trying to attract talent. They've open-sourced a lot of their work, including 3FS, which is fully available on GitHub. So while a backdoor is theoretically possible (just like an asteroid hitting Earth), I think the original poster's question is exaggerated and likely influenced by the fact that the company is Chinese.
> and likely influenced by the fact that the company is Chinese
Let's rephrase this. It is not simply that DeepSeek is a Chinese company. It is because of its links to the CCP [1] [2] and the CCP's cyber operations.
