The cool thing about open-weights model is that you are free to use alternative providers that won't phone home to the original model creators.
I see 6 alternative providers listed on Openrouter for DeepSeek V4 Pro for example.

At least that’s what they’re telling you. It’s a ”trust me bro” scenario.
I’d rather use the phone home version (deepseeks own endpoint). The benefit is that I’m fairly certain that they actually host the model I’m paying for.
