OpenAI Sam Altman Reacts to DeepSeek R1 Model, Promises to Roll Out Much Better Models


The CEO and founder of Openai, Sam Altman, reacted to the deecseek frenzy, which aroused the world of technology, describing the model as impressive.
Altman noted that the startup of Chinese AI has an excellent model, especially around what they are able to deliver for the price.
In a post made on X, he wrote,

“Deepseek R1 is an impressive model, especially around what they can deliver for the price. We will obviously provide much better models and it is also legitimate invigorating to have a new competitor! We are going to draw some versions.
“But most of the time, we are delighted to continue to execute our research roadmap and that we believe more than ever than ever to succeed in our mission. The world will want to use a lot of AI and be really surprised by the new generation models to come. Looking forward to bringing you all act and beyond ”.
Altman’s response suggests that the emergence of Deepseek and its R1 model served as a catalyst for Openal to accelerate its development efforts and solidify its main strength position in the AL global landscape.

Its reaction to the Deepseek model arrives after the Chinese technological startup aroused the world of technology with its revolutionary AI functionalities, producing similar results to Chatgpt. The company has become a hot topic after being famous with its large V3 language model (LLM) which has surpassed many popular giants of American technology while being developed at a much lower cost ($ 6 million).
The LLM of Deepseek are built on costs and a power of treatment much lower than its Western competitors, which questions the dominant belief that the execution of models of AI requires ever increasing quantities of computing power. In an article last month, the deep researchers said that the V3 model used older Nvidia H800 fleas for training and cost a derisory sum, compared to the billions of AI giants like Microsoft, Meta and Openai are committed to spending this year only.
Deepseek-V3 has an impressive speed and efficiency, processing of information at 60 puffy tokens per second and a multiplication by three compared to its predecessor. The low -cost model threatened the market share of existing AI companies. Recall that recently, the emergence of the model of Chinese artificial intelligence threatened the domination of current AI leaders as NVIDIA, razing $ 592.7 billion on the market value of the flea manufacturer. Monday, the Chatbot assistant would have gone over the chatpt rival to us in the Apple App Store Downloads.

By reacting to this, Deutsche Bank analyst Adrian Cox, wrote in a research note on Monday that Deepseek “Semou Semored Seeds of Doubt” larger is “which fueled the AI race until now”. Cox added that “cheaper AI is likely to mean more AI, with an explosion in real uses because it becomes available under a myriad of forms on all imaginable devices.”
Also commenting on Marc Andreessen, the venture capital of Silicon Valley, in an article on X
“Deepseek R1 is one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I have ever seen and as a source, a deep gift for the world.”
The emergence of Deepseek intensifies Dominance of American AI and China
OPENAL and DEEPSEEK represent both sides of the breed to develop an artificial intelligence in the United States and in China respectively. The competition is explicit, Deepseek describing himself as “competing with the O1 model of Openal” and with Altman aimed at making the American dominant in the Al.
Arrival of Deepseek also managed to relegate the great moment of Trump’s AI under the fold. Remember that on January 21, 2025, US President Donald Trump was with Sam Altman from Openai, son Masayoshi of Softbank and Larry Ellison d’Oracle to declare an AI victory for America, with a project ‘Stargate AI infrastructure of $ 500 billion.
Payment reasons why the emergence of Deepseek has the potential to intensify the rivalry between the United States and China.
Here is why:
• Al Dobrande: Deepseek’s rapid progress in AL technology, in particular with its Deepseek-R1 model, question the current domination of American companies like Openal. This change in the AL landscape could change the global balance of technological power.
• Economic implications: Deepseek’s success could have significant economic consequences. If Chinese companies have a competitive advantage, this could have an impact on American technological investment and potentially disrupting the global AL market.
The emergence of Deepseek and its powerful AL model, R1, has indeed challenged the long-standing domination of the United States in the field of artificial intelligence. The AL landscape is constantly evolving, and the future of American domination of us remains uncertain.
