Chinese citizens hail DeepSeek’s feat, gloat about US chip curbs

DeepSeek's cost efficiency is praiseworthy, but the privacy implications of its data collection would raise significant concerns,

said Saeed Rehman, senior lecturer in cybersecurity and networking at Flinders University

This situation may evoke similar concerns to those raised for TikTok, where data privacy and security have been hotly debated,

he added

To be completely fair, this happens in every scenario. Competition is a real thing, and when it's extractable information, you're going to extract it and try to get a win,

Rao said

As the leading builder of AI, we engage in countermeasures to protect our IP, including a careful process for which frontier capabilities to include in released models,

the company said in a statement

It's impossible to stop model distillation when you have open-source models like Mistral and Llama. They are available to everybody. They can also find OpenAI's model somewhere through customers,

said Umesh Padval, managing director at Thomvest Ventures

That's not sufficient, because people can find ways to get around it,

Ross said

I do not believe that DeepSeek was done all above board. That's nonsense,

Lutnick said

To be clear, they're not a way to duck the competition between the US and China,

In interviews they've done, they seem like smart, curious researchers who just want to make useful technology,

It's a huge geopolitical competition, and China's running at it super hard,

warned Facebook titan Mark Zuckerberg on the Joe Rogan podcast

America holds the lead in the AI race -- but our advantage may not last,

it warned, calling for government help in AI chip production, streamlining regulations and beefing up cybersecurity against national adversaries

Chuck Schumersenate Minority Leader

If America falls behind China on AI, we will fall behind everywhere: economically, militarily, scientifically, educationally, everywhere,

the US Senate's top Democrat Chuck Schumer said Tuesday

The release of DeepSeek AI from a Chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser focused on competing,

Trump said

Josh HawleygOP Sen

Every dollar and gig of data that flows into Chinese AI are dollars and data that will ultimately be used against the United States,

said Hawley, R-Mo., in a statement

Until now, AI has been defined more by largesse than finesse,

Crane wrote to clients

We know [China]-based companies – and others – are constantly trying to distill the models of leading US AI companies,

the OpenAI spokesperson said

Should the DeepSeek AI funding model prove sustainable, the AI tokens or projects that will stand the test of time will align with these models to bring users a cheap, functional AI solution,

Shadid projected

While temporary capitulation might take a short while, a comprehensive rebalancing is imminent,

Shadid said of the recent events that took place around the crypto market since DeepSeek's crash-landing in the tech space

Web3 AI innovators might find a way to align with Chinese tech in the mid to long term while hedging their alliance to get the best of both markets,

he said

It’s a super competitive industry, right? And this is showing that it’s competitive globally, not just within the US,

Weil said on a call with reporters about OpenAI’s new ChatGPT offering for government agencies, in response to a question from CNN
