DeepSeek's R1 is impressive, we'll obviously deliver better models: Altman

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said Chinese rival DeepSeek's R1 AI is "impressive, particularly what they're able to deliver for the price". Speaking amid a global selloff in tech stocks, Altman said, "We'll obviously deliver much better models...but mostly we're excited to continue to execute our research roadmap." "World is going to want to use a lot of AI," he added.
