OpenAI calls DeepSeek ‘state-controlled,’ calls for bans on ‘PRC-produced’ models

In one New policy proposalOpenAI describes the Chinese AI Lab Deepseek as “the state subsidized” and “controlled by the State” and recommends that the US government is considering prohibiting models from the outfit and similar People’s Republic of China (PRC) supported operations.
The proposal, one compulsion for the Trump government ‘AI action plan“Initiative claims that the Deepseek models, including the” reasoning “model of R1, are uncertain because Deepseek is confronted with the requirements for user data under Chinese legislation. Forbidding the use of” PRC-produced “models considered” Tier 1 “and” VIDENTRIGNATION OF THE BIDENDADDERTION STADY, ADDERTORATION Says OpenAI, including the “risk of IP theft”.
It is unclear whether the references from OpenAI to ‘models’ are meant to refer to Deepseek’s API, the open models of the lab or both. The open models of Deepseek do not contain mechanisms that would enable the Chinese government to survive user data; Companies like Microsoft, BewildermentAnd Amazon Host them on their infrastructure.
Openi has Accused Deepseek, which became known earlier this year, of the knowledge of OpenAi’s models against the service conditions. But the new allegations of OpenAi – which is supported by the PRC and under his command – are an escalation of the company’s campaign against the Chinese lab.
There is no clear link between the Chinese government and Deepseek, a spin-off of a quantitative hedge fund called High Flyer. However, the PRC has received an increased interest in Deepseek in recent months. A few weeks ago the founder of Deepseek Liang Wenfeng met Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
