Use Ollama to run deepseek locally. No censorship, no data leakage, can be run without network connectivity.

No, DeepSeek isn’t uncensored if you run it locally

There’s an idea floating around that DeepSeek’s well-documented censorship only exists at its application layer but goes away if you run it locally (that means downloading its AI model to your computer). But DeepSeek’s censorship is baked-in, according to a Wired investigation which found that the model is censored on both the application and training levels [...]

DeepSeek’s updated R1 AI model is more censored, test finds

Clément Delangue, the CEO of AI dev platform Hugging Face, warned about the unintended consequences of Western companies building on top of well-performing, openly licensed Chinese AI.
