One thing I'd love to hear opinions on from someone with more free time to read these papers from DeepSeek is: am I right to feel like they're... publishing all their secret sauce? The paper for R1 (1) seems to be pretty clear how they got such good results with so little horsepower (see: 'Group Relative Policy Optimization'). Is it not likely that Facebook, OpenAI, etc will just read these papers and implement the tricks? Am I missing something?
