Nature Deepseek Article may be Exaggerated

The 17 September 2025 Nature cover story was this article by China AI company Deepseek. Supposedly it had a hot new AI model trained at low cost.

They aRe widely accused of using pirated Nvidia chips that were illegally imported.

Now Anthropic claims that Deepseek and other China AI companies have been using thousands of bogus accounts to steal data from Anthropic models.

Deepseek has made some decent AI LLMs, but maybe not the scientific advance they claimed. Nature said that it investigated the validity of the Deepseek claims, but I don't know how it could know what was going on in China.

Anthropic could be lying. It really hates Chinese competition. So I am not necessarily drawing any conclusions here.
