🔴 "What if Hitler had the atomic bomb first?" DeepSeek attacks the US AI race

DeepSeek engineer Liu Shenyu has harshly criticized the idea of ​​slowing down the development of advanced AI, promoted by Anthropic and OpenAI executives. The developer, who participated in the creation of the DeepSeek V4.1 models, stated that he fears even more a scenario in which the most powerful systems end up under the control of a few American companies, and compared a potential Anthropic monopoly on general AI to a hypothetical situation in which Nazi Germany had obtained the atomic bomb first.

Liu published his thoughts amid a sudden heated debate about the speed of AI development. He believes advanced models should remain accessible to a broad group of developers and users , while Anthropic and OpenAI's closed distribution model risks concentrating computing resources, knowledge, and technological influence in the hands of a few corporations.
