Following the launch of DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup has been causing quite a stir in the industry.
Nvidia saw its stock price fall, while ChatGPT was found to be slower than the newcomer in some tests. But now ChatGPT creator OpenAI says that DeepSeek might have used its AI models for training.
According to a Financial Times report, OpenAI says that DeepSeek has gone beyond what is normally called “distillation,” a method where developers use information from other generative AI technologies as a way to teach others. “The issue is when you take it out of the platform and are doing it to create your own model for your own purposes,” an OpenAI source reportedly told the outlet.
David Sacks, the new White House AI czar, was quick to jump into the situation when speaking with Fox News. “There’s substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled knowledge out of OpenAI models, and I don’t think OpenAI is very happy about this,” he said.
However, it remains to be seen whether DeepSeek actually did anything wrong or if OpenAI is simply rattling the sabers at a time when it’s in the shadow of a newcomer.
It’s unclear what happens next, but companies are already starting to offer DeepSeek as an alternative to ChatGPT — Perplexity, a company that layers its own technology over generative AI provided by others, recently started to allow people to use DeepSeek’s R1 technology.
