OpenAI claims to have found evidence that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek secretly used data produced by OpenAI’s technology to improve their own AI models, according to the Financial Times. If true, DeepSeek would be in violation of OpenAI’s terms of service. In a statement, the company said it is actively investigating.

OpenAI is investigating whether DeepSeek used its work to build its model—an ironic twist for a company that’s built plenty on, well, other people’s work.

Did DeepSeek violate OpenAI's IP rights? An ironic question given OpenAI's past with IP rights. What can we learn from this classic playbook to protect a business?

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.

OpenAI says it is reviewing evidence that Chinese startup DeepSeek broke its terms of service by harvesting large amounts of data from its artificial intelligence technologies. The San Francisco-based startup,

Neither OpenAI, India’s IT ministry, nor Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office have commented on the visit yet.

"It seems clear to us that the true target/victim of the DeepSeek concerns is OpenAI, which claims the throne of all AI software and algorithms, which DeepSeeks claims to have outdone," wrote Robert Maire of Semiconductor Advisors earlier this week.

The competition for AI supremacy heats up among Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen 2.5-Max, DeepSeek’s models, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. DeepSeek’s efficiency challenges established giants, while Alibaba’s release underscores the urgency of adapting to a shifting AI landscape.

Leading White House advisers this week raised concern that China's DeepSeek might have derived benefits from a technique called distillation, in which the system purportedly piggybacked off
