Brazil could easily do it. Fine tuning requires some number of H100 cards. Trivial for the brazilian government. Existing brazilian labs are nothing compared to US hyperscalers but they do have enough capacity to fine tune Qwen. Santos Dumont has 248 H100s + 144 Grace Hoppers.

That's what makes this hilariously sad. Brazil could have done some good work here, but it just didn't. Brazil merged two models on a workstation.

I've worked with infra resources in that region. The prices of hardware never made sense. Not sure if it's taxes or something, but I'm sure a poor city hall won't be able to afford 250 GPUs for R&D in cutting-edge tech.
