OpenAI has accused Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek of using its proprietary models to train an open-source competitor, raising concerns over potential intellectual property violations.
The Financial Times reported that OpenAI found evidence of "distillation," a technique that enhances smaller models by leveraging outputs from larger, more advanced ones. OpenAI suspects DeepSeek employed this method to replicate its technology at a lower cost, further intensifying scrutiny over AI model security and competitive ethics.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
