Sorry you had to remove this post. As far as I can tell it did not say anything that is not already in the public domain.

The story of DeepSeek is incredibly inspirational: The founder being a phd in computer science, completely bootstrapping his AI efforts by doing quantitative trading, and even as they reached the frontier in the hottest subfield being more open than any other lab about what they were doing.

In general I find the attitude of the Chinese AI labs (and government) to be refreshingly not "AGI-pilled" and focusing on the correct downsides of AI (the effect on youth employment and the messing up of higher education).

AllenAi seems to the most open lab to me, sharing not just models and even training data, but also the training code and methodologies.

It is not on the “frontier” in any meaningful way.
