On February 1st, according to the technology media TechCrunch, in a Reddit AMA Q & A, OpenAI CEO Altman admitted that DeepSeek has weakened OpenAI's lead in the field of AI. He said: "We are on the wrong side of history when it comes to open source. I think we need to figure out a different open source strategy, not everyone at OpenAI agrees with that, and it is not our top priority at the moment. We will produce better models, but the lead will not be as large as before."
