Deepseek broke out just a few days ago when he completely stirred the US stock market and put the world of technology above, as an open source artificial intelligence model, against which the abusive chatgpt prices have nothing to do.
Well, the boys of Openai, owners of Chatgpt, have not taken long to take action on the matter to avoid losing the crown within the already competed world of artificial intelligence, among which other chatbots such as Copilot also stand out ( Microsoft) or Gemini (Google).
Chatgpt load against China AI
Openai has directly pointed to the Chinese Depseek startup by Use your models of artificial intelligence to train an open source system. According to the company led by Sam Altman, the Asian company would have resorted to a technique called “distillation”, a method in which the largest models responses serve to train smaller versions. Although this practice is common in the sector, OpenAi considers that Depseek crossed a line when using it to develop a direct competitor.
An OpenAI spokesman, in statements to Financial Timesthe company's position made clear: “The problem is when data from the platform is extracted to create its own model for commercial purposes.” This accusation charges even more relevance considering Depseek's glowing success in recent months. Its R1 model has been acclaimed for its ability to reason and its surprisingly low development cost: Only 5.6 million dollars, a minimum figure compared to OpenAi or Google billionaire investments. In addition, the Depseek app has reached first place in the Apple App Store in several countries, including the United States, reflecting the exponential growth it is experiencing.
Depseek arrives stepping on
The controversy has not gone unnoticed in the political sphere. David Sacks, an advisor to the White House in the field of artificial intelligence, was blunt in an interview with Fox News: “There are substantial evidence that Deepseek extracted knowledge of Openai models, and I don't think Openai is anything happy with this.” Their statements reinforce the hypothesis that the Chinese startup would not have followed the rules of the game in its development process, although it is evident that from the United States they defend its model against that of the other great political power, as is China.
The consequences in the market did not take long to appear. Nvidia, one of the giants of the hardware industry for AI, saw its stock value collapsed by 17 % in a single day, losing the amazing figure of 589,000 million dollars. Investors began to wonder if the future of artificial intelligence could depend less on expensive chips and more optimization strategies such as that used by Deepseek.
The conflict has an origin that goes beyond. According to Bloomberg, both Openai and Microsoft would have detected and blocked suspicious accounts in August for violations of their terms of service. Now, both companies believe that these accounts were linked to Deepseek, although they have avoided giving more details about the evidence they have.
The chatgpt entrance begins the war against the new Chinese artificial intelligence: it accuses it of stealing them from technology was first published in the bite apple.
