The emergence of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has taken the world by storm, especially the company released a research paper claiming that its R1 model surpasses proprietary AI models like OpenAI's o3 model across a wide range of benchmarks at a fraction of the development cost.
Shortly after the launch, reports claimed that DeepSeek unlawfully used OpenAI's data to train its cost-effective model. The ChatGPT maker's CEO, Sam Altman, admitted that DeepSeek's R1 AI model was quite impressive but claimed OpenAI was better positioned to "obviously deliver much better models" as it strives to hit the coveted AGI benchmark.
