How DeepSeek’s Open-Source AI Helps Network Engineers | Lab Demo | Eve-ng | Ollama | No Internet

🚀 **Automate Network Configs Offline with DeepSeek AI – No Data Leaks, 20x Cheaper Than ChatGPT!** In this video, I test DeepSeek’s open-source AI to automate EtherChannel and HSRP configurations for a fault-tolerant network lab—all running locally on my laptop. No cloud, no subscriptions, no data risks! 🔧 **What You’ll Learn**: - Why DeepSeek’s reinforcement learning beats ChatGPT’s supervised approach. - How to install DeepSeek **offline** for network automation. - Step-by-step lab demo: Building EtherChannel + HSRP failover in EVE-NG. - The cost-saving secret: Why enterprises are switching to open-source AI.
