Summary
OpenAI claims Chinese AI startup DeepSeek used its proprietary models without authorization, allegedly extracting large amounts of data via OpenAI’s API.
The company blocked suspected accounts for violating its terms of service.
The revelation comes as OpenAI restructures into a for-profit entity and deepens its partnership with Microsoft.
DeepSeek’s emergence has disrupted AI markets, briefly affecting NVIDIA’s stock.
Lmao that’s rich coming from them of all people
… yep, they’re rich. This saying has reached a full circle.
Just wait until they notice that the data that OpenAI had harvested from the net was illegally obtained from the start…
This is what my grandma meant when she said “this is the pot calling the kettle black”
Yes, OpenAI wishes everyone else has to have authorization to do model training…
Fortunately, their ToS don’t matter all that much, it’s easy to use their model through a third party without ever touching them.
I’m curious to see in a few months time if independent researchers are able to validate or refute the claim that it took only $5 million to train the model.
