Graded D on resilience. In Vannus's assessment it has not disclosed which model it runs — single-point-of-failure risk.
Not disclosed. DeepSeek-R1 does not publish which model it runs, so this criterion is excluded and the grade rests on what we could verify. We say so rather than guess.
Vannus grades DeepSeek-R1 against nine dimensions of trust — data sovereignty, training privacy, compliance posture, operational resilience, exit portability, and more. The heaviest criterion asks whether the tool builds its own AI or resells someone else's model; where the vendor discloses it, the grade cites the vendor's own documentation. No paid placements — scoring is walled off from affiliate revenue. See the methodology →
