OpenAI o1 vs DeepSeek R1 confirms model reproducibility

kalomaze · x · 2026-08-26

Kalomaze argues that narrow alpha, especially when disconnected from Big Lab GDP maximizer incentives, might allow a specific neolab to maintain a lead for a while.

However, once something with broad potential is found and exploited commercially, there are usually enough residual breadcrumbs for other actors to reconstruct it. He cites the OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek R1 saga as evidence that general or powerful capabilities tend to be reconstructible and reproducible.
