DeepSeek is not alone in this evolving AI environment; other Chinese firms such as Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance are joining the race, leveraging cost advantages while improving their models.

On the flip side, OpenAI itself is facing lawsuits for allegedly scraping unlicensed content to train its models—a reminder of the murky waters surrounding intellectual property in the AI domain.
