OpenAI says DeepSeek, its sudden Chinese rival, may have "inappropriately” taken data from its model to spin up its own artificial intelligence chatbot. DeepSeek released a surprisingly effective and inexpensive Large Language Model,

David Sacks said there's evidence that DeepSeek 'distilled' knowledge from OpenAI's models, a process that Sacks equated to theft.

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.

ChatGPT maker says it will need extra protection from US government, following emergence of Chinese rival, DeepSeek.

DeepSeek supposedly achieved similar results training up its model to OpenAi’s ChatGPT for around 6% of the cost of its US competitor. The news wiped more than US$1 trillion in value from the AI chipmaker NVIDIA’s market cap, along with sending several tech stocks south, and suddenly left US tech gods looking like they had feet of clay.

Microsoft and OpenAI are probing if data output from the ChatGPT maker's technology was obtained in an unauthorized manner by a group linked to Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

That's what ChatGPT maker OpenAI is suggesting, along with U.S. President Donald Trump's top AI adviser. Neither has disclosed specific evidence of intellectual property theft, but the comments could fuel a reexamination of some of the assumptions that led to a panic in the U.S. over DeepSeek's advancements.

David Sacks, Trump's crypto czar, said former President Biden's executive order on Artificial Intelligence has hamstrung American AI companies.
