Among the many smart platforms that have appeared over the months, one of the most recent is the Deepseek alternative, of Asian origin. This is a proposal that aims, among other things thanks to its open source nature, to be direct competition of others well known as OpenAi chatpt, for example.
As usual in this type of proposals based on artificial intelligence, it is enough that we access its official website to start using the corresponding chatbot. From there we will already have the possibility of registering, for example, with a Google account, to begin interacting with AI. Obviously initially we will need to have an Internet connection in order to take full advantage of this platform that we tell you.
Deepseek is expected to grow exponentially over the next weeks and months. But we must take into account that we also have the possibility of installing the AI locally in order to use it on our PC as if it were one more application. In fact, as we will see below, we will not even need a connection to use this smart platform once installed on the computer.
We have the possibility of carrying out this process in multiple operating systems, among which is Windows. For all this we are going to use a very useful software to carry out this same process with other artificial intelligences, we talk about the ollama program that we can download from This link.
Here we will see firsthand the operating systems with which the application is compatible.
Use the Deepseek without the need for Internet connection
At that time we will already have the possibility of installing this application that we tell you in a conventional way in our team. This is something that will take a few seconds, since it is a very light program that barely consumes team resources.
When executing the program, we do not find any graphic interface, but we start it so that it is working in the background. Now what we are going to do is open a window of the system symbol to download and install Deepseek locally in our equipment. This is the command that we have to run through CMD in Windows with administrator permits.
ollama run deepseek-r1:8b
From that moment on, the download as such of Deepseek’s artificial intelligence will begin so that we can execute it in the team. Keep in mind that by default it has a size of about 5 gigabytes, so the process can take a few minutes.
Once the AI discharge is finished as such, it will now be available on our computer and we can use it without having internet connection. To start it as another application, we access the Windows command line and execute the following order with administrator permits.
ollama run deepseek-r1:8b
At that moment we can start interacting with artificial intelligence by typing the prompt that we want to use the chatbot. To leave we have nothing but write /bye.
