DeepSeek to Open-Source Key Code Repositories - Chinese AI lab DeepSeek will open-source several code repositories during an open source week event. These repositories, comprising documented and production-tested source code, aim to foster community-driven innovation. DeepSeek continues to challenge industry leaders like OpenAI by releasing AI models under permissive licenses.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged DeepSeek's impact on reducing OpenAI's technological lead and hinted that OpenAI might open-source more technology in response. DeepSeek emphasizes collaboration, stating, "Every line shared becomes collective momentum that accelerates the journey."
