Built-in deepseek into Firefox

[wutongtaiwan]

deepseek is very powerful, why don't you guys build it into Firefox

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Hope AI chatbots can add DeepSeek

By the way, Deepseek could run totally locally, Firefox could add it for those who don't want to sent their data to third-party.

It was so frustrating to discover that such a sensational and truly open source bot is missing from the selection 😕 I hope that Mozilla won't justify the absence of DeepSeek by its connection to China.

I don’t think having AI built into Firefox is a good thing. Deepseek clients secretly upload traffic through background programs. Mozilla should focus on Firefox user experience. Rebuilding Firefox with Rust.

With AI becoming a thing in Firefox, I vote for European alternatives like Mistral. Also there's not any support on mobile Firefox for AI from what I've seen.

I disagree.
Forcing an LLM to run on a mobile phone can seriously damage the hardware, especially the damage to the eMMC TBW and the loss of battery life will become very obvious.
It is recommended that you really try a 1.5B distilled deepseek running on Termux. The speed is very slow, and the phone will get hot and the remaining running memory will drop significantly. After trying it, you won't have that kind of thought. Running LLM locally on the phone is very unrealistic.
