1) DeepSeek's R1 Model - What's the big deal?

• On par with ChatGPT's reasoning capabilities
• Open source & free to use
• BUT hosted in China (data privacy concerns)
• Incredible for analysis and content generation

2) Alternative Ways to Use DeepSeek:

• Fireworks AI ($8/million tokens)
• OpenRouter
• Grok API
• Local hosting (safest for sensitive data)

3) Running AI Models Locally 

Step-by-step setup:
• Install Docker
• Use OpenWebUI
• Download models via Ollama
• Configure API connections

Pro tip: Takes 5 mins to set up, saves hours of worry about data privacy

4) Mobile AI is HERE!

• Apollo app lets you run models locally on phone
• Download smaller, optimized models
• Works offline
• Perfect for quick analysis on the go

5) Temperature Settings Explained:

High temp (0.8-1.0) = Creative mode
Low temp (0-0.3) = Logical mode

Choose based on your needs!

6) FUTURE PREDICTIONS 

• Watch-based AI coming soon
• Emergency response applications
• Real-time negotiation assistance
• Advanced audio analysis

7) Getting Started Tips:

• Start with public data on DeepSeek
• Experiment with different models
• Use temperature settings wisely
• Focus on practical use cases

Notable Quotes:
"We're in this new deep-seek world where if you figure out the model that works for you and the tasks that you want to accomplish, you might be able to out-compete whoever you're competing against." - Greg

"Please don't be fearful or don't feel like you're left behind. If you're just finding out about this, you're not that far behind. We're all actually still trying to understand what this intelligence can give us." - Ray Fernando
