KEY TAKEAWAYS OpenAI said Wednesday that it is probing whether Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek improperly used its data to launch the low-cost model that spooked markets Monday.The comment by OpenAI follows a Bloomberg report that both OpenAI and its biggest backer Microsoft are investigating DeepSeek's model.
Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek disrupted Silicon Valley with the release of cheaply developed AI models that compete with flagship offerings from OpenAI — but the ChatGPT maker suspects they were built upon OpenAI data.
Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek claims to have developed an AI assistant with performance comparable to leading Western models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini but at a fraction of the cost.
Silicon Valley’s initial advantage in LLMs evaporated quickly despite export controls, writes AI expert Gary Marcus.
OpenAI believes DeepSeek used a process called “distillation,” which helps make smaller AI models perform better by learning from larger ones.
OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property.
Top White House advisers this week expressed alarm that China's DeepSeek may have benefited from a method that allegedly piggybacks off the advances of U.S. rivals called "distillation." The technique,
Joe Biden made several attempts to curb Chinese AI advancement, but DeepSeek's launch has put those policies into question.
However, the consensus is that DeepSeek is superior to ChatGPT for more technical tasks. If you use AI chatbots for logical reasoning, coding, or mathematical equations, you might want to try DeepSeek because you might find its outputs better.
ChatGPT maker says it will need extra protection from US government, following emergence of Chinese rival, DeepSeek.
Howard Lutnick, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Commerce Department, slammed China for allegedly using U.S.-manufactured technology to compete with American artificial intelligence
Scrapping export restrictions on top-of-the-line GPU chips because of DeepSeek's s AI success would hand China a major win, says Toner.
