OpenAI's big claim, ChatGPT was used to create DeepSeek AI

Recently, OpenAI claimed that DeepSeek developed its R1 model by distilling its AI models. According to Amar Ujala, OpenAI has said that it has evidence that some users were using the output of its AI models for a competitor, possibly DeepSeek. DeepSeek recently launched its open-source AI model DeepSeek-R1 and hosted it on GitHub and Hugging Face. This model has surpassed OpenAI's o1 AI models in many benchmarks.

According to Amar Ujala, OpenAI alleged that its proprietary AI models were used to train DeepSeek's models. The company also said that it has seen evidence of distillation from several accounts using the OpenAI API. OpenAI and its cloud partner Microsoft investigated the issue and blocked access to these accounts.
