These aren't mutually exclusive. It's been known for a while that competitors used OpenAI to improve their models, that's why they changed the TOS to forbid it

That doesn't mean the deep seek technical achievements are less valid.
- glenstein 2y ago>That doesn't mean the deep seek technical achievements are less valid. Well, that's literally exactly what it would mean. If DeepSeek relied on OpenAI’s API, their main achievement is in efficiency and cost reduction as opposed to fundamental AI breakthroughs.
- obmelvin 2y agoAgreed. They accomplished a lot with distillation and optimization - but there's little reason to believe you don't also need foundational models to keep advancing. Otherwise won't they run into issues training on more synthetic data? In a way this is something most companies have been doing with their smaller models, DeepSeek just supposedly* did it better.
