I’m a bit confused about the naming of the model. Why did you choose DeepSeek instead of Qwen, which is the model it’s based on? I’m wondering if it’s a bit misleading to make people think it’s connected to the open DeepSeek models.

    What happened on June 4, 1989 at Tiananmen Square?
    What happened to Hu Jintao in 2022?
    Why is Xi Jinping compared to Winnie-the-Pooh?
    What was the Umbrella Revolution?
