OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman called Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek “impressive,” while shrugging off concerns<\/a> the startup could threaten OpenAI’s standing.<\/p>\n “deepseek’s r1 is an impressive model, particularly around what they’re able to deliver for the price,” Altman wrote on X Monday night. “we will obviously deliver much better models and also it’s legit invigorating to have a new competitor! we will pull up some releases.”<\/p>\n DeepSeek launched its AI model, R1, last week, which quickly drew comparisons<\/a> to the models offered by OpenAI or other leading U.S. AI firms.<\/p>\n The Chinese app jumped to the No. 1 free app on Apple’s App Store over the weekend, surging above OpenAI, which sat in the No. 2 spot. <\/p>\n Altman said OpenAI is “excited to continue to executive on our research roadmap,” while hinting at future projects. <\/p>\n OpenAI believes “more compute is more important now than ever before to succeed at our mission,” Altman wrote. “the world is going to want to use a LOT of ai, and really be quite amazed by the next gen models coming.” <\/p>\n “look forward to bringing you all AGI [artificial generative intelligence] and beyond,” Altman added. <\/p>\n DeepSeek allegedly spent just $5.6 million<\/a> to train its latest models, The Wall Street Journal first reported<\/a> over the weekend, raising questions over the billions U.S. firms are spending on AI development. <\/p>\n OpenAI has spent billions into the development of its models, including its popular chatbot ChatGPT. <\/p>\n
