Before DeepSeek R1 became an AI sensation that crashed the US stock market this week, early versions from the Chinese AI startup identified themselves as variants of ChatGPT.
After the Chinese researchers published their work explaining the breakthrough training methods that allowed them to develop a reasoning AI model as good as ChatGPT o1, OpenAI accused DeepSeek of distilling ChatGPT to train versions of DeepSeek. That’s against ChatGPT’s terms of service.
It’s also ironic that OpenAI, which scraped the internet of everything it could find to train ChatGPT, including copyright content, is now complaining that someone is stealing its work.
Soon after, security researchers exposed a massive DeepSeek security vulnerability that accounts for the first big DeepSeek hack. They also found many similarities between OpenAI and DeepSeek systems “down to details like the format of the API keys.” This further suggested that the Chinese AI firm took a lot of inspiration from OpenAI.
The evidence keeps piling up, as a different AI firm speculates that DeepSeek might be a distillation of ChatGPT.
