OpenAI and Anthropic aren’t even slightly worried about DeepSeek.

Are you living under a rock and never read any of Dario's blog posts?
Let me give you an example, here: https://darioamodei.com/post/policy-on-the-ai-exponential
Section "1. *Regulation* and public safety" (emphasis mine), then under it:
> AI companies that develop advanced AI models must have strong security standards that protect their model weights
You can't "protect model weights" if the weights are openly available, ergo this is an explicit call for regulation to make open weights illegal.
People like open models because they are free/cheap. It's not anything deeper than that. Most people will hop in whatever van is handing out free candy.

Having looked at the sentiment around DeepSeek's models around this thread as well as my own experiences with it I'm going to need a little more to back up that assertion about OpenAI and Anthropic not being at least a little bit worried about DeepSeek...
