I spent three years working in consulting mostly in public sector and education and the last two working with startups to mid size commercial interest and a couple of financial institutions.
Before that I spent 6 years working between 3 companies in health care in a tech lead role. I’m 100% sure that any of those companies would I have immediately questioned my judgment for suggesting DeepSeek if had been a thing.
Absolutely none of them would ever have touched DeepSeek.
Why would you be presenting what AI tech you are using? You would tell them AI will come from Amazon using a variety of models.
I've worked with financial services, and insurance providers that would have done the opposite for cost saving measures. So, I'm not sure what to say here.
