Transcripts

1. Introduction: What if I told you you can harness the power of artificial intelligence, specifically Deepsek locally on your computer or your device offline without the need to go online. Literally, you have the ability to take artificial intelligence applications with you wherever you go, on your computer, on your laptop, and not just that. You have the ability to maintain the data privacy without sending information across servers between different locations. Everything is going to be contained within your device. In other words, you got your own personal artificial intelligence assistant on the go. In this current class, I'll be teaching you how to actually localize Deep Seek install it on your computer and harness the power of artificial intelligence locally within your device, maintaining your own ecosystem of data without compromising data sharing, data leaks, transfer of data between servers. Everything will be kept within your device for your own purposes and applications, at the same time, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence locally. 2. Your Project: Your project for the class revolves around the localized implementation of Deep Seek in which you are going to follow the lessons taught in order to incorporate Deep Seek locally within your device, after which you are going to have a demonstration on a basic prompt based on which you are going to confirm your understanding in terms of the process that you have followed to localize the usage of Deepsik, after which you're going to be sharing your output with the rest of the community for feedback. 3. Setting Up Deepseek Locally: Now I'm going to show you how to use Deepsek locally on your computer. Yes, locally, because sometimes when you're using the artificial intelligence model, your information that you're sharing, the commands are being accessed through servers across the globe. Now, in order to ensure that you're using this the way that you'd like to use it in the most convenient way possible, without even the need to actually try to connect to these servers is simply by having Deepsk get installed on your local device, literally on your computer, your desktop, it will be stored like a software that you can use it where you have the language learning model accessible without the whole privacy policy considerations and the data security issues that might arise with the usage of artificial intelligence model since you dare to be transferred between servers. So how do you go about this? There's an easy way to go about this. I'm going to show you a couple steps you need to follow as simply navigate to the following website. Just click in momstudio.ai. You click on this. Now, this is the homepage for LMStudio. Now you might have heard about Lama and LM Studio. Both of them, they get the job done. You should find such a similar logo, and you can just simply type on Google or the actual search bar mtudio AI, and you would be prompt to the following page. On the following page, you need to download the select the option to download it to the actual computer that you're using. You have for Mac. You got the Microsoft computer desktop Windows. It's up to you. Just simply select any one of them and then download it. That's step number one. 4. Deepseek localized Configuration: Come back. So once you've downloaded the LM Studio and you have activated it onto your computer, once you click on it, this is basically the window that you're going to be seeing LM studio. Simply think about it this way. You download a model, you select a model, then you have the ability to use the model on your device. So how does that work? Click simply over here on the search icon. Click on it. This is where you discover various models which are being used. You can just simply download them on your computer. Type in DeepC. Okay. Now, as you notice, Deep Sik has multiple options. These are the distilled models. Think about them this way. These are the lightweight models which will get the job done on your computer without being quite too heavy. Now, as you scroll down, you might find that you have different options for deep Sk. Some of them are really heavy, like it says here, the file is too large. If you take a look at the option over here, 347.45 GB the parameters. This is like the full deep seek on your computer. So it's going to be demanding on your machine. Or basic applications, which will get the job done, by the way, these are the go to options. They will help you get the job done because you don't need all of the parameters of Deep seeks like having the full on artificial intelligence model on your computer. You're not going to be using Ovid. Select either one of them, the quen or dilemma. Let's go for d ilamaF example, over here. You'll notice that this is 4.32 GBs, and this is about 4.68. Now, here it says 7 billion parameters. Here it says 8 billion parameters. The previous option that we have went through, let's take a look at the options. Well, the file is too large. If you take a look at it, we scroll down. We got 47 GBs, the amount that we need to actually download on the computer, the storage required because this will be about the full on parameters for the number of parameters for Deep Sik as a whole. So the distilled model, 8 billion parameters, 4.3 GBs, or seven GBs, 4.68 GBs to download it. Both of them will work perfectly fine. Just simply click on Download. Here we go. And you are going to be downloading this onto your computer locally. Clearly, you are going to get the model for Deepsk the LLM, the language model, and just simply download it on your computer or your desktop, whatever the device that you're dealing with, but preferably something strong. You have a computer or desktop that you have the ability to actually handle this. But Lemma Lama or Quin, the options that you have are most probably downloadable on your computer directly if you have an average PC or something which is for consumer usage, that's perfectly fine. You're able to get the job done, and the whole purpose of this is you have the ability to download the artificial intelligence using the full on contextual length of 128 K. You have the ability to access the R one model. You have the ability to use it on your computer without having your data transmitted over servers and offline, by the way. This is very powerful. So if you'd like to use some sort of documentation, you have a certain tool on your computer, certain sheets that you would like to use, and you would like to have the help of artificial intelligence within those sheets, for example, tool analysis can just simply use the LLM model without accessing the network. That way, you're able to contain the data and keep it localized on your computer. So we have about 1 minute left in order to download Deepsek onto the computer, and then we are going to actually get to use it. You're able to track the downloading process over here. We're about 60% downloaded. Now you might be wondering why not to use it directly on the server? Sometimes, I've noticed when I'm using Deep Seek on the actual server, like the actual Deepsek website, sometimes the server is busy. Literally, there are a lot of traffic going through the website, since it's quite free. And for basic tasks, for example, why would you go on the server and just wait till the server is clear on the website and it might take you some time. At the same time, you might face the issue of privacy and policy constraints. As apparently it seems that the data that you're uploading on Deepsek, there are certain data security issues that many users are kind of highlighting. So in order to avoid the whole hassle in the first place and still use Deep seek for your own applications without the need to go online, without compromising data within your organization, for example, you can just simply download it. Either you got the first option or the second option. And if your company, for example, provides really powerful or you got really powerful PC, you have the ability to select either one of them, the other options, and then you're able to see if it's downloadable or not. Now we have reached almost 100% on the download. So it seems, here you go. Download completed. The model is ready. You can just simply click on Load Model. Here we go. So these are the downloaded models. How would you go about this? Take a look at the top part. Right? Once you click on the drop down menu, you notice, what are the models that I have available as part of the LM Studio. By the way, you could install other models. I doesn't have just simply to be Deep Sk. Take a look at other models. Feel free to try them out, test them out. But we're trying to help you save time, save effort loaded onto your computer. You can eject it as well. So think about LM Studio, like a hub, you connect to it a model. You can eject the model or just connect the model. So over here, we have the LM studio connected. These are the current models, which is Deep Seek R O. Click on it. So this is the right model that we have. Load the model. Here we go. Now the model is being loaded. We have downloaded it. Now, in the next lesson, we're going to show you how you could actually use it. 5. Examples on Local Applications: Have installed it locally. Now, think about it this way. Now you've got Deep Seek on your local device. I got for you a couple examples award of notice. When you are using Deep Seek locally, make sure that you're closing any other tools or applications or anything which will be right. We've installed it for 4.82 GBs, zero, two GBs in this current case, and the CPU usage is 0% at this current state. Then by itself will be taxing on your system. So I got for you a couple examples over here. Now, the first example is using deep seek to solve mathematical equations. This is one of the powerhouse features of Deep Seek, by the way, calculations and coding. So if you installed it locally, you're using its power in the best way possible to help you with your day to day applications, think about analysis, think about cation quadratic equation X square plus two x plus four equals to zero. Let's try to solve it using Deep Seek and you're able to see once you click on here as if it's words with text, but it's not very clear for mathematical purposes, calculation purposes, analysis purposes. So what you do is navigate to appearance click on view mode, Mark Down. This will give you the result the same way you would see it on the website for Deep Seek. Then once it says 2 minutes and 31 seconds, it took long because basically I had multiple applications tools and models running at the same time, which is taxing on the system, which would slow down the process. But if you close all the other artificial intelligence models applications that you're using, this will take seconds. Equation, you can go through it to get the final answer, and the final answer is correct, by the way. So think about it this way. It's like a personal assistant that you could use it to help you do stuff. Not just simply calculations, summarizing emails. Is the limit. So you can get creative. You can get innovative with the approach. Not just that. I got another example for you, where we need to write the code for a bouncing ball in HTML. So as we can see here, it took about 7 minutes to go about the process, but like I've mentioned, make sure that when you are using it, that your device is strong enough or you're not using other applications or language models. This should take a second or two, but because I have other language models being used, I've installed them, I've used them. At the same time, simultaneously, this took a while. So here's the code by default. So if you're into coding, for example, for me as an engineer, we do code, various application purposes within the engineering domain, but it takes time to do so. So in order to minimize the process, we could just simply use Deep Seek in this current case to help us with the code generation process on the spot locally. And this current case is an example for a bouncing ball, and it could be used in HTML. You can put it to CSS. Also it incorporates JavaScript, so it's up to you. If you are coder, professional, developer, whatever application that you're at, you can use it locally. You can just simply then copy paste the code into your own application, and that's mainly it simply by using proper prompt engineering practices that we have went through as we are going through the application. So that's very important to keep into consideration when you're using deepsk. You have the ability to use it locally. I've showed you the steps. Feel free to think it, to experiment with it, to try to find different areas of application, and feel free to share the insights that you're coming across. Let's say you've downloaded it locally and you found some sort of creative way to use deeps colocally for a certain application, feel free to share it with us with the rest of the community. That way we have a pool of knowledge that you could share, that you could learn from, to help everyone develop by sharing your questions, by sharing your feedback, by sharing your snapshots or screenshot of your results. That way you were able to learn together and grow together in such a very, very important and powerful domain in today's industry and in today's world. 6. Wrapping Up: What do you think?
