DeepSeek's website seems to be using two models. The one that censors only does so in the online version. Are you saying that censoring happens with this model, even in the offline version?
I tried the R1 distill of llama 8B, which did refuse direct questions about the massacre.
Haven’t tried this new model locally, but I agree with you that it looks like there is a secondary censorship going on. If I ask it to list the 10 worst catastrophes of recent Chinese history with Thinking enabled then it’ll actually think about the massacre. Gets blocked very quickly, but it doesn’t look like the thinking is particularly censored.
