- The new report claims that Openai has detected evidence of distillation by Deepseek
- The move represents a potential violation of intellectual property
- Whitehouse Ai Czar weighs on the subject
According to a new article by the Financial Times, Openai claims to have evidence that Deepseek, the Chinese startup that launched the American technology market on financial disorders, used the owner models of the company to form its own open source LLM, called R1. This would represent a potential violation of intellectual property, because it goes against the Openai service agreement.
In the article, the FT writes that an OpenAi source says that it has signs of “distillation” occurred, which is a technique used by developers to jump on the work carried out by larger models to obtain Results similar at a much lower cost.
OPENAI conditions of use clearly indicate that users cannot copy any of its services or “use the outing to develop models that compete with OPENAI”. David Sacks, Whitehouse crypto and the “tsar”, said in an interview on Fox that there was “substantial evidence” of distillation occurring from Deepseek.
OPENAI declaration
Addressing Techradar, an Openai spokesperson, said: “We know that companies based on RPC – and others – are constantly trying to distill models from the heads of AI companies. For which the border capacities include in published models, and believe that we are advancing that it is extremely important that we are working in close collaboration with the American government to best protect the most capable models of the efforts of adversaries and competitors to take American technology.
OPENAI tells us that he observed and studied attempts to distill his models and responded by prohibiting the accounts in question and by revoking access.
Safety problems
Meanwhile, security concerns always seem to be the resumption of Deepseek, in particular around the security of user data, exactly what data is collected and where they store them.
If you or your business have problems with data stored in China, Perplexity, the AI search engine, now offers its professional users access to Deepseek using data only stored on servers in the United States.
New registrations for Deepseek are still temporarily interrupted, “due to large -scale malicious attacks against Deepseek services”. For the latest news on this great story of rupture, consult the OUR DEEPSEEK LIVE blog.
