Summary
OpenAI claims Chinese AI startup DeepSeek used its proprietary models without authorization, allegedly extracting large amounts of data via OpenAI’s API.
The company blocked suspected accounts for violating its terms of service.
The revelation comes as OpenAI restructures into a for-profit entity and deepens its partnership with Microsoft.
DeepSeek’s emergence has disrupted AI markets, briefly affecting NVIDIA’s stock.
I’m curious to see in a few months time if independent researchers are able to validate or refute the claim that it took only $5 million to train the model.
