This is why I've been telling people not to overblow Deepseek. I guessed they stole an OpenAI model and optimized it. Is that optimization impressive? Yes. But there's no reason we can't do that too. They seem to have no capacity to make their own models.

One of our startups found Deepseek makes the same mistakes O1 makes, a strong indication the technology was ripped off. It feels like they then they hacked some code and did some impressive optimizations on top. Most likely, not an effort from scratch
