Moonshot AI and DeepSeek reportedly used OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra outputs to build new models

Two of China's top AI labs shipped upgraded open-weight models this month, and both reportedly leaned on outputs from OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra Two of China’s most closely watched AI labs released new models in October. Both reportedly had help from an unlikely tutor: OpenAI . Moonshot AI and DeepSeek are said to have used outputs from OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra to develop the models they shipped this month. That puts a familiar question back on the table. When a lab learns from a rival’s answers, is that clever engineering or something closer to copying homework? The update focuses on sharper task performance and better agentic coding. Agentic coding means the model doesn’t just suggest code. It plans and carries out multi-step programming work with less hand-holding.
