# DeepSeek AI engineer slams Anthropic, OpenAI over ‘pacing’ calls, invokes Hitler Source: [https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/3367605/deepseek-ai-engineer-slams-anthropic-openai-over-pacing-calls-invokes-nazi-germany](https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/3367605/deepseek-ai-engineer-slams-anthropic-openai-over-pacing-calls-invokes-nazi-germany) A DeepSeek engineer has issued a stark warning about the potential concentration of advanced artificial intelligence and resources in proprietary US developers Anthropic and OpenAI, intensifying a growing debate in China over calls by US industry leaders to[“pace” AI development](https://www.scmp.com/tech/policy/article/3367448/china-rejects-calls-pacing-ai-development-fearing-it-would-entrench-us-tech-lead?module=inline&pgtype=article)amid safety concerns\. Liu Shengyu, a DeepSeek engineer behind the company’s V4\.1 models, said he did not trust Anthropic or OpenAI to make cutting\-edge AI “open and affordable”, contrasting their closed\-source approach with DeepSeek’s embrace of open\-source models\. “I especially don’t want Anthropic to master the most advanced artificial intelligence or AGI,” he wrote in a social media post on Monday\. AGI broadly refers to AI systems that match or surpass human\-level intelligence\.
