This is really tickling the conspiracy theorist part of my brain.

"Independent open-source project · not affiliated with DeepSeek" "Reasonix only targets DeepSeek because..." "Why DeepSeek only? Can I swap to Claude / GPT? It's a design choice, not a limitation"

The lady doth protest too much, methinks?

Nicely timed shortly after the making the rebate permanent anouncement.

Could just be Chinese devs trying to help western devs with some software and a western facing marketing campaign to raise awareness. Could be DeepSeek astroturfing. Could be "someone" in China trying to get more access to western data.

Who knows?
