Khosla claims that DeepSeek made “mistakes” similar to those in the O1 model, which, according to the veteran investor, indicates «a strong possibility that the technology was copied.»
Questioning DeepSeek's capabilities
Khosla is not alone in doubting DeepSeek's capabilities. A Bernstein report has also raised questions about the AI model's claim of being developed for just $5 million. The report said, “We don't think Deepseek built OpenAI for $5M. The models are impressive, but not miraculous. The panic on Twitter over the weekend seems exaggerated.”
OpenAI and Microsoft’s investigation
According to a Bloomberg report, both OpenAI and Microsoft are investigating whether DeepSeek used OpenAI’s technology to develop its own AI models. This probe was prompted after DeepSeek released models that compete with OpenAI’s well-known AI products, raising concerns about potential violations of intellectual property (IP) rights.
