- OpenAI claims DeepSeek “distilled” its AI model, which violates its terms of service.
- This process involves one model asking another model questions to improve its own results over time.
- Meanwhile, the US Navy has banned members from using DeepSeek due to “potential security and ethical concerns.”
DeepSeek continues to send shockwaves throughout the AI industry after jumping to the top of app stores and providing answers that seemingly rival ChatGPT for significantly less financial investment. Now, OpenAI is claiming that one of the reasons DeepSeek AI is so good is that it copied ChatGPT’s homework.
According to Bloomberg News, Microsoft and OpenAI say they have evidence that a large amount of data was withdrawn from ChatGPT in the fall, and they suspect it was used to “distill” the knowledge from ChatGPT into DeepSeek’s R1 model, which was released last week. Essentially, this process involves using the output from one model to refine the results of a separate model.
