DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence provider that develops open-source LLMs. R1, the latest addition to the company’s model lineup, debuted last week. The release of the LLM caused a broad selloff in AI stocks that sent Nvidia Corp.’s shares plummeting 17% on Monday, along with many other technology stocks.

OpenAI reportedly claimed that it had seen evidence of distillation of its AI models, which it suspected to be from DeepSeek.

Sam Altman responds to DeepSeek R1, revealing OpenAI's plans for superior AI models and a bold vision for artificial superintelligence.

For example, Copilot (then called Bing AI) gained early access to GPT-4. Now, Microsoft allows Copilot users to access OpenAI’s o1 reasoning model for free. This is a pretty new model, only hitting the market last month.

AI labs might be in panic mode, but enterprises are here to reap the rewards of the effects caused by DeepSeek R1.
