Everyone keeps assuming that China will forever be publishing these models, but it is clear as a bell that that day is over. In the end every model will be buried under state control for the simple reason that they will soon be really dangerous, as China understands better than anyone. They will give Kimi K3 to the Sinaloa cartel and the US military, but that's about the end of it.

Perfecting these autonomous agential coding AIs just moved way way faster than anyone expected. People are desperately trying to save their principles from six months ago but it's a different world. They can work out their issues with Trump, Dario and Sam, but it is Xi who will shut all this down.

> that day is over.

I see zero indications of this. As a matter of fact, I see evidence of the opposite, the Chinese government has just come out in support of open weight AI last week.

I don’t think the Sinoloa cartel cares at all about frontier models, and the military already runs their own locally deployed editions of Mythos.
Of course the cartel crazies use frontier models! https://www.wired.com/story/how-mexicos-cjng-drug-cartel-emb...
