OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is accusing Chinaās DeepSeek of copying its AI workāand even the White House is paying attention.
šØ Breaking News:
OpenAI claims DeepSeek "distilled" its AI models to create a ChatGPT rival at a fraction of the cost, sparking legal and security concerns.
ā” Wire Simplified:
OpenAI suspects DeepSeek used its AI research without permission.
Microsoft is investigating if OpenAIās data was misused.
The White House and the US Navy are now concerned about DeepSeekās security risks.
Some experts argue AI builds on existing models, making "copying" a gray area.
āļø Straight to the Point:
DeepSeekās rise is shaking up AI, but whether itās innovation or imitation could reshape AI rules and national security policies.

I read the DeepSeek-R1 paper the day it came out, and I donāt think GRPO is the key to its success. Instead, hereās what truly matters (ranked by importance):
1. Iterative RL and SFT
2. A hybrid reward modelāmixing rule-based RM and neural RM for deterministic tasks
3. High-quality synthetic data, with human post-processing only when necessary
4. Evaluation with 64 inference samples
These open exciting opportunities for PhD students with limited compute to explore further. I might tweet some potential research projects inspired by DeepSeek-R1 later.
Beyond the technical aspects, what I appreciate even more:
1/ Openness: without it, people wonāt follow.
2/ Exceptional writing: Strong storytelling: from proof of concept to a more complex process demonstrating full potential. Clear, easy-to-follow methodology.
Final note: Heroes admire each other, while losers resent each other. Letās stay competitive and grateful!
You can run a quantized version of the full version of DeepSeek on just 2 H100s and get 140tok/s
For the ~$2/hr rate of an H100, thatās $4 for 504k tokens or ~$8/M tokens which is ~90% cheaper than o1.
