Chinese AI company DeepSeek has drawn scrutiny from OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly building its AI models using OpenAI's data. OpenAI suspects DeepSeek may have utilized its API to extract and distill knowledge from OpenAI's models, violating its terms of service. Microsoft reportedly detected significant data exfiltration from OpenAI developer accounts linked to DeepSeek.
Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek disrupted Silicon Valley with the release of cheaply developed AI models that compete with flagship offerings from OpenAI — but the ChatGPT maker suspects they were built upon OpenAI data. OpenAI and Microsoft are investigating whether the Chinese rival used OpenAI’s API to integrate OpenAI’s AI models into DeepSeek’s own models, according to Bloomberg.
While developers can use OpenAI’s API to integrate its AI with their own applications, distilling the outputs to build rival models is a violation of OpenAI’s terms of service. OpenAI has not provided details of the evidence it found. The situation is rich with irony. After all, it was OpenAI that made huge leaps with its GPT model by sucking down the entirety of the written web without consent.
