Questions

## DeepSeek: frequently asked

Is it safe to use DeepSeek with private data?

If you self-host the weights, your data stays on your own infrastructure. Using DeepSeek's hosted API is a different matter, and you should review where it processes data before sending anything sensitive.

Do we need a large GPU cluster?

The full-size models need multiple high-memory GPUs. Distilled versions can run on a single GPU, and we test whether they are good enough for your task first.
