DeepSeek is causing havoc throughout the AI industry. U.S.-based tech companies that have heavily invested in AI saw their stocks take a tumble this week after the China-based startup released a new AI model on par with OpenAI's latest model, yet much cheaper to train — plus, DeepSeek made it free and open source.

ChatGPT maker says it will need extra protection from US government, following emergence of Chinese rival, DeepSeek.

OpenAI believes DeepSeek used a process called “distillation,” which helps make smaller AI models perform better by learning from larger ones.

Davos | San Francisco | SoftBank is in talks to invest as much as $US25 billion ($40 billion) into OpenAI, in a deal which would make it the ChatGPT maker’s biggest financial backer, as the pair partner on a massive new artificial intelligence infrastructure project.

Alibaba says the latest version of its Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model can take on fellow Chinese firm DeepSeek's V3 as well as the top models from U.S. rivals OpenAI and Meta.

Last year, OpenAI lost two prominent AI researchers, Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike. The pair were co-leading the company's Superalignment team at the time, which was focused on AI safety and had been working to achieve “scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us.”

OpenAI is at the center of a copyright debacle that could shape the future of content creation and publishing discourse.

David Sacks says OpenAI has evidence that Chinese company DeepSeek used a technique called "distillation" to build a rival model.

OpenAI itself has been accused of building ChatGPT by inappropriately accessing content it didn't have the rights to.

The AI expert’s remarks come as OpenAI and other Silicon Valley giants face a reckoning following DeepSeek’s success.
