"but I have no way to create my own executable" it's a model, not an
executable.
Per the github page "6. How to Run Locally" ... "DeepSeek-V3 can be
deployed locally using the following hardware and open-source community
software"
Broadly I gave up on the original post at " I am an old mainframe guy"

I am an old mainframe guy. I could give you my COBOL deck of cards or
the compile listing. You could pour through the code looking for
nefarious/malicious code. I then hand you the object deck. You have no idea
if it matches the code you looked at. The only way you could be sure is to
compile the code I gave you and use your own object deck.
So why is open source these days such a beneficial thing? DeepSeek may
be open source but I have no way to create my own executable. Besides, I
don’t know what language it is written in but I bet I have no expertise in
it. No way to for me to identify nasty code.
Yes, many people may have reviewed the code but that does not mean what
I am running is the result of that code.
Open source, properly defined, means not just that you can see the code
but that you have the possibility of building it. If DeepSeek is
advertised as open source but you can't create your own executable, that's
clearly false advertising.
