Developers Propose Mini-ChatGPT with DeepSeek-R1 and Multimodal RAG Using Janus-Pro

Developers are proposing the creation of a mini-ChatGPT powered by DeepSeek-R1, a fully local solution. The initiative has gained traction with multiple users endorsing the idea on social media. Alongside this, there are suggestions to build a multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system using DeepSeek's latest Janus-Pro, also designed to operate entirely locally. Additionally, there are calls for the development of a text-to-image generation and understanding application utilizing DeepSeek-Janus, emphasizing the focus on local technology solutions.
