DeepSeek engineer says Anthropic AGI would be "like Hitler getting nukes"

According to Cybernews, an engineer at DeepSeek said he considers the stakes comparable to Hitler obtaining an atomic bomb before the Allies. The article's headline attributes the comparison to Anthropic, stating that the engineer said Anthropic AGI would be "like Hitler getting nukes." The excerpt does not name the engineer, and it does not state when or where the remark was made.

The excerpt states that the engineer said he chose to stay at DeepSeek because the company researches powerful, fast, broadly accessible artificial intelligence and releases it as open source. It does not state his role beyond the description "engineer," how long he has worked at the company, or whether he was speaking publicly or privately. It does not state whether Anthropic has responded to the comparison, or whether either company was contacted for comment.

The excerpt names no DeepSeek or Anthropic model and provides no figures, dates, or evaluation results. It does not describe which DeepSeek models are open source, what licences they carry, or how widely they have been distributed. The comparison to Hitler obtaining an atomic bomb before the Allies is reported as the engineer's characterization of the stakes; the article does not attribute that view to DeepSeek as a company or to any other employee. The excerpt also does not place the remark in the context of any specific regulatory or legislative proposal.
