Vertical tabs are now an option in @mozilla.org Firefox 136! So far they are working great for me.

DeepSeek-R1: The Promise and Peril of Open-Source Model Distillation - Benjamin Patch Discover how DeepSeek-R1's open-source approach could fuel an explosion of specialized AI models, and the challenges that come with it.

Forget training LLMs from scratch. #DeepSeek shows us the power of #OpenSource + #ModelDistillation. But is sacrificing safety for efficiency a Faustian bargain? I've laid out my research and would love to hear your thoughts!
