OpenAI launched strict ID verification for developers seeking access to its advanced AI models which led to the burning question about DeepSeek Copied OpenAI Code? The sudden introduction of ID verification by OpenAI occurred after reports emerged that Chinese AI firm DeepSeek trained its DeepSeek-R1 model using OpenAI outputs without proper disclosure.
The AI content detection firm Copyleaks found that DeepSeek-R1 generated responses which matched OpenAI writing patterns at a rate of 74.2%. The analysis employed various AI classifiers which found parallel sentence patterns and vocabulary and phrasing elements thus sparking major doubts about data origin and intellectual property infringement.
OpenAI took action by enhancing its security protocols because developers who violate its policies need to be blocked according to the company. Developers who complete verification procedures gain access to model versions o1, o3-mini and o4-mini. The company supports more than 200 countries according to OpenAI but it does not provide any public list of these countries.
Copyleaks issued a warning that DeepSeek’s low-cost model could have disrupted the market unfairly if it used unauthorized distillation of OpenAI code. The reported market disruption led to Nvidia suffering its largest-ever single-day loss of $593 billion.
The legal battles against OpenAI continue because the company used extensive online content without permission to train its models. However critics note that OpenAI has faced legal battles because it trained its models using online content without permission.
The main question remains in everyone’s minds about whether DeepSeek copied OpenAI code.
