Hold up. Look, this is all shades of grey but saying Chinese labs all release open weights stuff is kinda crazy thing to say. Right now they are doing that because they are still trying to catch up to Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. The moment they have the special sauce, they will shut it down and you won't be able to run their stuff anymore outside of them. Why do I say that? We already have the evidence in the diffusion model arena. All the chinese labs were pumping out open weights models for image and video, the moment they got to SOTA, they stopped doing it. Less and less is being released. Chinese companies aren't doing open weights models out of the goodness of their hearts, they are doing it because it help their entire industry catch up. Don't get it twisted, this is very much a US vs China battle here. China wants to win and I am not sure how they won't. Deepseek is the first major large model trained on Huawei chips. It won't be the last and I am betting that China will make up for lesser performance of those chips with more manufacturing and power generation. I am very bullish on China winning the AI war here. But I also am not naive enough to think that the Chinese companies is doing open weights out of wanting to make the world a better place or the goodness of their hearts. It undercuts the american AI companies. |
