Since the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek released its powerful large language model R1, it has sent ripples through Silicon Valley and the U.S. stock market, sparking widespread discussion and debate.

Since Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) start-up DeepSeek rattled Silicon Valley and Wall Street with its cost-effective models, the company has been accused of data theft through a practice that is common across the industry.

OpenAI claims to have found evidence that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek secretly used data produced by OpenAI’s technology to improve its own AI models, according to the Financial Times. If true, DeepSeek would be in violation of OpenAI’s terms of service.

OpenAI thinks DeepSeek may have used its AI outputs inappropriately, highlighting ongoing disputes over copyright, fair use, and training data.

OpenAI itself has been accused of building ChatGPT by inappropriately accessing content it didn't have the rights to.

The San Francisco start-up claims that its Chinese rival may have used data generated by OpenAI technologies to build new systems.

OpenAI and Microsoft are big mad that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has stolen their market share and, possibly, portions of their code. It’s a deeply funny claim from the company that made ChatGPT, a program it once admitted couldn’t exist without free access to all the copyrighted data in the world.

OpenAI believes DeepSeek used a process called “distillation,” which helps make smaller AI models perform better by learning from larger ones.

After DeepSeek AI shocked the world and tanked the market, OpenAI says it has evidence that ChatGPT distillation was used to train the model.

OpenAI may find little refuge under intellectual property and contract law if DeepSeek used ChatGPT to cheaply train its popular new chatbot.
