LLM Integration - A Moral Dilemma

Dear all, I wanted to start a discussion about a topic that divides our team to such an extent, that we do not know how to build a roadmap for our product. We have been planning integration with as many llms as possible for a long time, with particular emphasis and attention on models that can be run locally - this is where we see our chance. Since the appearance of DeepSeek, which fits perfectly into our efforts for the open source community, there have been many opinions that tell us to abandon integration with this model. And yet it cannot be ruled out that we will not see equally good and better models from China on the market soon. We hear among our users that it is morally unacceptable that we are contributing to the "enemy" camp. But the so-called "Open AI" did not offer an open version of its product. Of course, concerns are raised about secret downloading of our data and its use. But aren't Western corporations doing exactly the same thing? We agree to one without batting an eyelid, and burn flags over the other. We want to offer a product that will give developers the widest possible use, who do not necessarily want to incur high costs. All opinions will be valuable to us. We are DocWire , our product is DocWire SDK - a cpp 20 library for data processing. If you want to check it https://github.com/docwire/docwire . Help us out a little - we feel stuck.
