What I find the most comical about this is that the whole situation could be loosely summarized as "OpenAI is losing its job to AI."
OpenAIs $200 closed-ai uppended by hedge-funds free side-project
Quant geeks outcompete overpaid silicon valley devs etc.
Basically, hubris gets its comeuppance which is a david vs goliath biblical archetype which is why this drama grips all of us.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Also, DeepSeek is allegedly... better? So saying they just copied ClosedAI isn't really sufficient of an answer. Seems to be just bluster because the US Govt would probably accept any excuse to ban it, see TikTok.
It’s not better. In most of my tests (C++/QT code) it just runs out of context before it can really do anything. And the output is very bad - it mashes together the header and cpp file. The reasoning output is fun to look at and occasionally useful though. The max token output is only 8K (32K thinking tokens). O1 is 128k, which is far more useful, and it doesn’t get stuck like R1 does. The hype around the DeepSeek re…
For instance Fireworks offers R1 with 164K/164K. They are far more expensive than DeepSeek though
It's reasonably likely that a lot of people linked to the federal government want to ban DeepSeek. You can tell it's being presented away from "they gave us a free set of weights" and towards "they destroyed $1T of shareholder value." (By revealing that Microsoft et al. paid way too much to OpenAI et al. for technology that was actually easy to reinvent.)
Theoretically this should be good for OpenAI - in that they can reduce their costs by ~27x and pass that along to end users to get more adoption and more profit.
This is absolutely hilarious! :) ClosedAI scraped human content without asking and they explained why this was acceptable... but when the outputs of their training corpus is scraped, it is THEIR dataset and this is NOT acceptable! Oh, the irony! :D I shared a few screenshots of DeepSeek answering using ChatGPT's output in yesterday's article! https://semking.com/deepseek-china-ai-model-breakthrough-sec...
While all of this is true, that DeepSeek wouldn't be here were it not for the research that preceded it notably Google's paper, then Llama, and ChatGPT which they're modeled after, its release still did something profound to their psyche, the motivation and self-actualization this instills to the Chinese. They witnessed the power of their accomplishments: a side-hustle project knocked off an easy trillion. This is on…
Depends on whether they want these tools to be adopted in the wider world. Rightly or wrongly there is a lot of suspicion in the West and an open source approach builds trust.
Let me guess, this gives the government and excuse to ban DeepSeek. Which means tech companies get to keep their monopolies, Sam Altman can grab more power, and the tech overlords can continue to loot and plunder their customers and the internet as a whole.
OpenAI talks a lot about the principles of being Open, while still keeping their models closed and not fostering the open source community or sharing their research. Now when a company distills their models using perfectly allowed methods on the public internet, OpenAI wants to shut them down too?
High time OpenAI changes their name to ClosedAI
I'm not being sarcastic, but we may soon have to torrent DeepSeek's model. OpenAI has a lot of clout in the US and could get DeepSeek banned in western countries for copyright.
It’s not limited to the models themselves but also OpenAI will probably work towards shutting down access to training data sets also.
imho it’s probably an emergency all hand on deck problem.

If the allegation is true (we don't know yet), then what you've written perfectly proves the point everyone is making. ChatGPT wouldn't be here if it weren't for all the research and work that preceded it in terms of tons of scrapable content being available on the Internet, and it's not like OpenAI invented transformers either.
Nobody is accusing DeepSeek of hacking into OpenAI's systems and stealing their content. OpenAI is just saying they scraped them in an "unauthorized" manner. The hypocrisy is laughably striking, but sadly nobody has any shame anymore in this world it seems. Play me the world's tiniest violin for OpenAI.
