However, otherwise, the movement is a seal of legitimacy in an AI model that has caused OpenAi’s consternation during the past week. The controversy focuses mainly on Deepseek used OpenAi models to produce outputs (synthetic data) that Deepseek then used to train or adjust its own models, a practice often called “distillation”, which is against the terms of service of OpenAi.
From the launch of Deepseek V3 (a large language model that served as a parent of R1), users have reported That the model is often called Chatgpt, suggesting that at least some data produced by Chatgpt were used to adjust the behavior of V3. It would not be the first time that IA researchers went out of OpenAi: IA experts accused Xai of Elon Musk of doing something similar with his Grok AI model in December 2023.
And that is not the only problem in question. In addition to the accusation of terms of service and Irritable tweets According to the reports, of Operai employees, Microsoft also launched an Deepseek investigation after Microsoft safety researchers discovered that the Chinese company may have extracted substantial data for training purposes through OpenAi’s API during autumn of 2024, according Bloomberg
Despite the controversies, the CEO of Operai, Sam Altman, welcomed the additional competition of Deepseek earlier this week. Monday, Altman tweeted“Deepseek’s R1 is an impressive model, particularly around what they can offer for the price. Obviously, we will deliver much better models and it is also a legitimate vigor to have a new competitor! We will carry some releases.”
In response to the rise of R1, it is expected that Operai Lance O3-mini is expected through Chatgpt as soon as later.
