How easy is it to disable DeepSeek's distributed FS? Say for example a US college has been authorized to use DeepSeek for research, but must ensure no data leaves the local research cluster filesystem?

Edit: I am a DeepSeek newbie BTW, so if this question makes no sense at all, that's why ;)

I might need more clarification, but if one is paranoid or is dealing with this sensitive of information the DeepSeek model and 3FS are able to be deployed locally offline and not connected to the internet.

DeepSeek is a company. This article is about a distributed file system they have developed. It is a separate, unrelated piece software from their open-weight models(DeepSeek-R1, DeepSeek-V3, etc).

In your example it is likely the US college has been authorized to use a DeepSeek model for research, not the DeepSeek 3FS distributed file system.
