OpenAI claims to have evidence that DeepSeek leveraged OpenAI’s models to train a competing AI model.
If true, this would violate OpenAI’s terms of service.
OpenAI toldthe Financial Timesabout evidence of DeepSeek using “distillation” to train AI models.
In fact, it is used in the AI industry frequently.
The OpenAI API cannot be used to “copy” OpenAI’s service.
Users are also prohibited from [using] output to develop models that compete with OpenAI."
The Financial Times spoke with a person close to OpenAI and shared context regarding OpenAI’s terms of use.
Those accounts had access blocked last year because they were suspected of being used for distillation.
David Sacks, the White House AI and crypto czar, recently discussed DeepSeek and OpenAI.
OpenAI has clear terms that prohibit using its models to create technology that competes with OpenAI.
That being said, the accusations from OpenAI are quite ironic.
