DeepSeek caused a market tsunami on Monday as investors digested the news that its new R1 model appeared to perform well despite being trained with less sophisticated chips, somet

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

However, the consensus is that DeepSeek is superior to ChatGPT for more technical tasks. If you use AI chatbots for logical reasoning, coding, or mathematical equations, you might want to try DeepSeek because you might find its outputs better.

Creatives have been screaming for years that generative AI relies on the unfair use of copyrighted material. The world’s preeminent AI startup is suddenly on the other end of the debate. Well, well, well—look who suddenly wants a word with the sheriff in the fair-use Wild West landscape of artificial intelligence.

According to the FT, OpenAI says DeepSeek used a process called distillation to develop its models. This is where the answers or outputs of a larger or more complex AI model are used to train a newer one.

OpenAI said on Wednesday that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek's open-source models may have "inappropriately" based its work on the output of OpenAI's models, an OpenAI spokesperson told Axios. Why it matters: China's DeepSeek has taken the AI industry by storm with its R1 reasoning model that competes with OpenAI's o1,
