Why we said Watch
What it is
Open-weight DeepSeek models. The license lives on the model card. See the official page. This profile describes public documentation, not a Loaded Tokens hands-on test.
Who it is for
People who want DeepSeek weights on their own hardware. The recommendation is scoped to that job.
The evidence behind Watch
Cards differ. An older DeepSeek license added use restrictions. A newer card may say MIT. Read the one you download. The source page is the receipt. No speed ranking or reliability score is implied.
Pricing and the catch
Weights are posted per model. There is no single price that covers every DeepSeek checkpoint. Public pricing or license checked November 7, 2026. Amounts are as stated on that page. Tax, region, annual billing, and extra usage can change the bill.
A sensible first workflow
Pick one model id, read its LICENSE, and only then load it. This is a suggested evaluation, not a test we ran.
Bottom line: Watch. The brand is not the license.
