OpenAI has reportedly accused Chinese AI firm DeepSeek of using distillation techniques to replicate capabilities of leading U.S. AI models, including OpenAI’s systems.
OpenAI sent a memo to U.S. lawmakers alleging that DeepSeek may have extracted model outputs and used them to train competing systems, potentially bypassing safeguards. OpenAI described the practice as an attempt to free ride on American AI technology.
Trump will probably announce tariffs against deepseek
OAI is probably trying to push chinese out of the market artificially using govt sanctions like huawei/tiktok/electric-cars.
Or just setting up a narrative to explain its downfall. Get ready to hear a lotta whining from altman about how the great american OAI’s mission was undermined by the cheating chinese, and if not for that, OAI would have achieved world peace already.
