Microsoft, a main investor in Openai, is now exploring whether Chinese company Deepseek He used nefarious methods to train his reasoning models. According Bloomberg Law The company now believes that Depseek violated its terms of service through the use of its application programming interface (API) to train its recently announced R1 model.
The news occurs shortly after the AI of the White House and the Cryptographic Tsar, David Sacks, told Fox News in an interview on Tuesday that it was “possible” deep “stole the intellectual property of the United States.”
The AI industry has been excited about Deepseek’s ability to train AI models quickly and profitably in a year with only $ 5.6 million. There is an underlying possibility, the reason for the efficiency of the company is that it has used the model of another company as a baseline.
Deepseek may have used a process called distillation, which It implies two models that have a dynamic of teacher-student so that one can collect information from the other. On the one hand, this could explain the company’s economic operating costs and the use of NVIDIA H800 less powerful chips. Deepseek can now be in the hook to demonstrate if all illegal actions were needed when developing their models.
Before this recent development, industry experts previously speculated That Deepseek probably used reverse engineering to train its models. This process analyzes the models to identify their patterns and biases to improve future models. Inverse engineering is a common practice among open source developers that are considered legal.
Security researchers sanctioned by Microsoft have already rebuilt that Depseek may have exhumed a considerable amount of OpenAi API code during the autumn of 2024. Microsoft supposedly made OpenAi aware of the rape at that time. The R1 model was announced last week, calling attention to the Chinese AI company and the associated parts.
Depseek has also been praised as an open source application application, in which anyone can develop. This is where much of the emotion surrounding the platform arises, in addition to its comparison with the main tools such as Chatgpt and Google Gemini. Operai is not an open source service; However, anyone can register to access their API. The company makes clear in its terms of services that other entities cannot use production to train other AI models, Techcrunch noted.
An Operai spokesman said Reuters That, regardless of regulations, several international companies trying to copy models of known companies in the United States is now a common fact.
“We get involved in countermeasures to protect our IP, including a careful process for which the border capabilities include in launched models, and we believe as we advance, it is very important that we are working closely with the United States government to better protect the better Better.
