So? Every other model maker is doing that. Including OAI

There's a lot more to making foundation models and Deepseek are very much punching well above their weight

that's not how this works. o1's thinking trace is hidden, and that's what's valuable here, not the output.

xAI did/does the same, but Grok is nowhere near as good. Perhaps a measure of talent is required to "copy" as well as DeepSeek.
