The alarm bells in Bengaluru are ringing louder than ever. DeepSeek V4 is rumored to write production-ready code for a fraction of a cent.

The rivalry between Silicon Valley and Beijing has hit a boiling point. Just days before the expected launch of China’s “DeepSeek V4,” OpenAI has formally accused the startup of systematically stealing intelligence via “distillation,” sparking fears that American IP is fueling China’s AI dominance.
