The Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek has rattled markets with claims its latest AI model performs on a par with those of OpenAI, despite using less advanced, more energy efficient compute

Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI are investigating whether data output from OpenAI’s technology was obtained by a group linked to DeepSeek in an unauthorized manner, reported the news agency, Bloomberg.
