Il lato oscuro di DeepSeek: prezzi bassi, utenti in fuga e il sogno nel cassetto dell’AGI
Nel 128° giorno dal lancio, DeepSeek R1 ha rivoluzionato l’intero mercato dei modelli di grandi dimensioni. Il suo impatto si è fatto sentire prima di tutto sul fronte dei costi: il solo annuncio di R1 ha contribuito ad abbassare i prezzi delle inferenze. OpenAI, ad esempio, ha aggiornato a giugno il costo del suo modello o3, riducendolo del 20% rispetto alla versione precedente o1. Questo cambiamento è avvenuto in un contesto competitivo sempre più serrato, dove l’efficienza economica è diventata una leva strategica fondamentale.
L’utilizzo dei modelli DeepSeek su piattaforme di terze parti è esploso, ma non senza contraddizioni. La domanda è aumentata di quasi 20 volte rispetto al primo rilascio, trainando l’espansione di molte aziende cloud. Tuttavia, la piattaforma ufficiale di DeepSeek – sia a livello web che via API – ha registrato un costante calo di traffico. Secondo i dati di SemiAnalysis, a maggio solo il 16% dei token generati dal modello proveniva da DeepSeek stesso. Questo segnale evidenzia una crescente preferenza degli utenti verso soluzioni alternative più performanti e meno frustranti in termini di latenza.
Dietro l’apparente successo si cela una strategia estrema di riduzione dei costi. DeepSeek ha deliberatamente sacrificato l’esperienza utente per limitare il consumo di risorse computazionali. Le sue API ufficiali soffrono di alti tempi di latenza, con ritardi significativi nell’erogazione del primo token. In confronto, piattaforme come Parasail o Friendli offrono latenze minime a costi contenuti. Altre, come Azure, pur essendo più care, garantiscono prestazioni decisamente superiori. Anche la finestra di contesto fornita da DeepSeek – limitata a 64k – è considerata insufficiente per task complessi come la programmazione, dove piattaforme concorrenti offrono fino a 2,5 volte più contesto allo stesso prezzo.
La scelta di DeepSeek è chiara: potenziare l’intelligenza, non il servizio. Tutte le ottimizzazioni introdotte puntano a un unico obiettivo: ridurre il carico delle inferenze pubbliche per concentrare la potenza di calcolo sullo sviluppo interno. Questo approccio spiega anche l’assenza di reali investimenti su chatbot proprietari o offerte API competitive. In parallelo, DeepSeek adotta una strategia open source per alimentare l’adozione dei suoi modelli tramite provider esterni, consolidando la propria influenza sull’ecosistema AI senza dover sostenere i costi di scala.
La seconda metà del gioco nei modelli LLM è tutta sulla qualità del token. Mentre DeepSeek punta alla costruzione dell’AGI, Claude, ad esempio, cerca un compromesso tra performance e redditività. Ha rallentato leggermente per contenere il consumo computazionale, ma mantiene una buona esperienza utente. Il modello Claude Sonnet 4 ha visto un calo del 40% nella velocità, ma resta più reattivo di DeepSeek. Inoltre, modelli come Claude ottimizzano le risposte in modo da consumare meno token, mentre DeepSeek e Gemini, per la stessa risposta, possono richiedere il triplo dei token. In questa fase della competizione, efficienza e intelligenza non sono più solo una questione di prezzo o velocità, ma di visione a lungo termine.

After a long delay, people in a small part of France received an official order for certain vulnerable people should avoid drinking tap water, due to presence of PFAS in the water supply. The warning focused on babies, pregnant women and the immunocompromised. That decision is based on caution, which has some rational basis. But actually, no one knows how much harm
‘Even if we stop drinking we will be exposed’: Parts of France have banned tap water. Is it a warning for the rest of Europe?

There's no generally-accepted definition of "indigenous peoples". Therefore, no credible historian or scientist will use the term. Because it's vague and readily misrepresented, it's a staple of Zionist hasbara.
Professor Shlomo Sand of Tel Aviv University researched the Jewish People. He didn't find one. He found many people who call themselves Jewish. Few have any connection with the Middle East, except for their chosen religion.
Palestine has been shared for centuries. Majority Jewish. Majority Christian. Majority Muslim. Shared.
Christianity originated in Palestine (Roman Judea). By your logic, that makes all Christians "indigenous". Should Jewish Israelis therefore be dispossessed in favour of Christians?
Calling themselves Jewish does not give people an extraordinary claim to the land. It certainly does not entitle them to dispossess existing inhabitants.
@palestine
>by your logic
misrepresentation. Jews have maintained a strict ethnic identity (given historical facts & the location -- Italian, i.e. Roman--the reason we're often white passing is PROBABLY due to rape), while Christians share no real ethnic identity globally. Ethnoreligion != religion
cont later, with more details on Sand
Under dhimmi laws or Roman/Byzantine laws, yes, although with semifrequent expulsions. But by that logic because there are still Arabs in the region it still counts as "shared" -- why object?

scientist-speak understatement: "the great majority of present-day Jewish groups and Levantine Arabic-speaking groups, are consistent with having 50% or more of their ancestry from people related to groups who lived in the Bronze Age Levant and the Chalcolithic Zagros" (fwiw Saudis came out as highest in this study so something might be wrong with it) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/…

Palestinians are also genetically similar. But they don't speak the same language or practice the same religion.
At best, both are about equally removed from hunter-gatherers.
Your resort to Gish-gallop tactics does you no credit @FishNamedDog
It serves only to demonstrate that, when it can't convince, hasbara seeks to overwhelm.
Though the book triggered an avalanche of hasbara, the fact that an Israeli academic couldn't find a Jewish people strongly implies that there isn't one.
A Jewish perspective on the ideology that spawned Israel:
"Zionism is a false idol that has taken the idea of the promised land and turned it into a deed of sale for a militaristic ethnostate".

2) hasbara literally means explanation. you know that, right?
3) Nu, it goes both ways; In 1946 Palestinian (PLO definition) historian Philip Hitti said that there was "actually no such entity as Palestine -- never had been" (quote from arabamerica.com)
The hasbara about hasbara is as you say @FishNamedDog
The reality is something else:
criticalresist.substack.com/p/…
The first known written references to Palestinians are Egyptian inscriptions dating from ~1150 BCE. The boundaries of their homelands vary over time.
The fact that the "chosen people" of Israeli National Zionism are no more valid than the "master race" of German National Socialism strikes at the foundations of the ideology. The artificial structure named "Israel" collapses.
Even if it were otherwise, Zionists' displacement of the existing population would still be criminal. Israel is proceeds of those crimes. To benefit from proceeds of crime is also criminal.
