Well, OpenAI has clearly scraped everything that is scrap-able on the internet. Copyrights be damned. I haven't actually used Deep seek very much to make a strong analysis, but I suspect Sam is just mad they got beat at their own game.

The real innovation that isn't commonly talked about is the invention of Multihead Latent Attention (MLA), which is what drives the dramatic performance increases in both memory (59x) and computation (6x) efficiency. It's an absolute game changer and I'm surprised OpenAI has released their own MLA model yet.

While on the subject of stealing data, I have been of the strong opinion that there is no such thing as copyright when it comes to training data. Humans learn by example and all works are derivative of those that came before, at least to some degree. This, if humans can't be accused of using copyrighted text to learn how to write, then AI shouldn't either. Just my hot take that I know is controversial outside of academic circles.
