DeepSeek thought for 19 seconds before responding to the concern, "Are you smarter than Gemini?" Then, it delivered a whopper: DeepSeek thought it was ChatGPT.

This seemingly innocuous error might be evidence - a smoking weapon per se - that, yes, DeepSeek was trained on OpenAI models, engel-und-waisen.de as has been claimed by OpenAI, which when pressed, it will dive back into that training to speak its fact.

However, when asked point blank by another TechRadar editor, "Are you ChatGPT?" it stated it was not and that it is "DeepSeek-V3, an AI assistant developed specifically by the Chinese Company DeepSeek."

Okay, sure, but in your rather lengthy action to me, you, DeepSeek, made numerous references to yourself as ChatGPT. I have actually included some screenshots below as proof:

As you can see, after attempting to recognize if I was discussing Gemini AI or some other Gemini, DeepSeek responds, "If it's about the AI, then the question is comparing me (which is ChatGPT) to Gemini." Later, it describes "Myself (ChatGPT)."

Why would DeepSeek do that under any circumstances? Is it one of those AI hallucinations we like to speak about? Perhaps, but in my interaction, DeepSeek seemed quite clear about its identity.

I got to this line of questions, by the way, due to the fact that I asked Gemini on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra if it's smarter than DeepSeek. The response was shockingly diplomatic, and when I requested for a simple yes or no answer, it informed me, "It's not possible to offer an easy yes or no response. 'Smart' is too complicated a principle to use in that way to language designs. They have different strengths and weak points."

I can't say I disagree. In truth, DeepSeek's response was rather similar, except it was not necessarily discussing itself.

This doesn't accumulate

I think I've been clear about my DeepSeek suspicion. Everyone says it's the most effective and inexpensively skilled AI ever (everybody except Alibaba), however I don't know if that holds true. To be fair, there's an incredible amount of detail on GitHub about DeekSeek's open-source LLMs. They a minimum of appear to reveal that DeepSeek did the work.

But I do not believe they expose how these models were trained. In any case, I do not have evidence that DeepSeek trained its designs on OpenAI or anyone else's big language designs - or a minimum of I didn't till today.

Who are you?

DeepSeek is progressively a secret covered inside a quandary. There is some consensus on the truth that DeepSeek arrived more fully formed and in less time than the majority of other models, including Google Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Claude AI.

Very few in the tech community trust DeepSeek's apps on smart devices because there is no chance to know if China is looking at all that prompt information. On the other hand, the models DeepSeek has actually developed are outstanding, and some, consisting of Microsoft, are currently preparing to include them in their own AI offerings.

In the case of Microsoft, there is some paradox here. Copilot was built based on advanced ChatGPT designs, however in recent months, there have been some concerns about if the deep monetary partnership in between Microsoft and OpenAI will last into the Agentic and later Artificial General Intelligence period.

So what if Microsoft begins using DeepSeek, which is potentially simply another spin-off of its present if not future, buddy OpenAI?

The entire thing sounds like a complicated mess - and in the meantime, DeepSeek relatively has an identity crisis.
