«We have no plans to sue DEPSeek right now. We are going to continue to make excellent products and lead the world in the world’s power, I think it works well, ”Nikkei publication reports the words of Altman.
Earlier, DeepSeek released its own model of artificial intelligence R1, the creation of which, according to its developers, cost much cheaper compared to Western analogues. However, she does not lose to them by characteristics. Last week it was reported that Microsoft and Openai suspected Deepseek of theft of data when developing R1. Altman later called the R1 “impressive model” and stated that “the appearance of a new opponent really inspires us.” Semianalysis then suggested that Deepseek could spend much more money on creating R1, which was originally stated.
Altman made the current statement during a trip to Japan, where he met Prime Minister of the country Sigeru Ishiba and the head of the Japanese holding of SoftBank Masaysi Son. Openai and SoftBank announced the creation of a joint venture in Japan SB Openai Japan, which will develop AI services. It is expected that this will be the largest project to provide AI tools of American startup corporate clients outside the United States.
