The ChatGPT maker said it is “reviewing indications that DeepSeek may have inappropriately distilled” its models.

Distillation is a technique used to transfer the knowledge of a large model to a smaller model.

“We know that groups in the [People’s Republic of China] are actively working to use methods, including what’s known as distillation, to try to replicate advanced U.S. AI models,” an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement.

“We take aggressive, proactive countermeasures to protect our technology and will continue working closely with the U.S. government to protect the most capable models being built here,” they added.

Distillation does not expose a model’s inner workings and can be used by developers to improve their applications, the spokesperson noted.

However, OpenAI’s terms of........
