No, it doesn’t. As with all things China, you’re getting misinformation and so many of you jump all over their propaganda.

quote:

OpenAI is investigating whether Chinese artificial-intelligence startup DeepSeek trained its new chatbot by repeatedly querying the U.S. company’s AI models.

A spokesperson said the ChatGPT maker is reviewing indications that DeepSeek extricated large volumes of data from OpenAI’s tools to help develop its technology, using a process called distillation.


quote:

OpenAI’s suspicions raise the prospect that the performance of DeepSeek’s model, which is said to be on par with some of the world’s top AI models, could be less impressive than it originally appeared. It also raises the specter that companies spending hundreds of millions of dollars to train state-of-the-art models may have trouble keeping rivals from copying their work.

Some DeepSeek users have noticed that the chatbot would at times respond with text that appeared to be lifted from OpenAI. “Now, according to OpenAI’s policies, I must avoid asserting that I have consciousness or sentience,” the chatbot responded, according to a screenshot posted by a user of the social-media site Reddit over the weekend.


WSJ

It is mind boggling the number of people willing to believe a communist country and what it will put into the world.

Who controls it?

Company attempting to win a different kind of arms race for a country whose communist govt places the US at enemy number 1 should always have its motivations and loyalties questioned.

I am sure many had similar thinking when helping Chinese bio labs (or looking the other way).

Also anything is cheaper when labor is cheap and controlled by the govt, and IP property of others is stolen and used without true consequences.

Even though more of a reaction this time Companies based in China and controlled by its govt in any form shouldn’t be allowed to list on American stock exchange markets. It’s govt will manipulate numbers for its benefit over the US’s.

While true, "anything" also happens to include capitalist marketing.

That's kinda cute coming from the company that has been datamining the shite out of everyone else and now doesn't like it when they get the same treatment.

My opinion is they deliberately designed and sold a chip to circumvent export laws...



That's not how chip companies work. Companies like nvidia design a chip. The design goes to a fab which makes the chips. During testing some of the chips pass testing and some fail. The failures get sorted into goups based on what's broken inside the chips.

The broken chips will be tested running at lower frequencies or different cache sizes, etc.. Again some pass and some fail.

So they keep doing this and that's how you get companies selling different model numbers. They aren't really different chips they just passed or failed different tests.

A good example is that some chips may fail to compute sin, cos, tan or something similiar. The chip company would slap a special part number on that and offer to sell it a discount to a customer that doesn't need those functions.

So what nvidia likely did was sell a bunch of imperfect chips that passed export laws.

I disagree, but I'm familiar with what you're referring to re: purity.

From what I've read (WSJ) Nvidia did just what I thought; designed and sold a specific chip for China.

Again, not illegal.

Chip companies sell chips...

Of course.

What are the odds this was one of the big dogs slapping them down for the clear corporate and state espionage involved in DeepSeek?

Apply that to firearms, tanks, drones, etc

Nvidia may have sold them chips, they also sold them a 4 cylinder while America keeps the v8 engine.

Perfect analogy.

But they also sold them the rear-end gears so that 4cy could keep up in the 1/4.

Huh? Sorry kid. I'm not disappointed someone has made a better wheel.
Comment was made about it not working....thats completely untrue. Registration was so overwhelming, , it caused issues.
Bad actors plant bot to do that and curb enthusiasm.
I'm surely not happy they have the jump on us. Especially after Trump made inauguration promises about the US leading the AI field.

But to be so pussified as to resort to the "China bots are her" excuse...well it's just sophomoric

Perhaps, but it changes nothing about the likelihood that DeepSeek did nothing close to creating an LLM on par with “rivals.”

Significantly less sophomoric than to imply a distilled LLM is on par with American models, or that China in any way has “the jump on us.”
