Which ones of the search providers listed in this thread use ethical indexing and not outright DDoS?

Deepseeks browser platform has replaced my typical LLM search routines over the last few months.

Its extraordinary good. They arent trying to sell you things and I cab often find obscure sources/papers.

Its also great for finding research papers in chinese on a given topic.(also its free in the browser and doesn't slow my comptuer to a crawl like most webUIs by llm companies). I have it open all day nowadays.

Edit: How does this get downvoted immediately. Does Anthropic have bots just downvoting any positive sentiment about Chinese AI..

as expected, the typical "politically sensitive" search queries return 0 results

egress on fetch looks to be huawei cloud in hong kong

fetch tool uses a linux firefox 149 user agent with lang set to china. it runs js. could be using something like camoufox.

The rate-limit given there seems really low. 5 requests per second?

I wouldn’t be able to use that API in any app with any significant number of concurrent users.

Or am I reading it wrong?

DeepSeek models are amazing and this search pricing is fantastic. All these companies like Parallel, Exa and others are gonna have hard time justifying their hefty valuations. Add Perplexity and many others into the mix. The demand for what they are building is there, but not the margins for the amount of money they raised.

I was really excited to use this (well, I still am), but then I realized Ollama Cloud offer this too, though they don't really mention pricing. I think it's somehow rolled into their subscription.
