>By open sourcing so that others can adapt their approaches and improve their models to be as cheap? But can they (americans) make cheap models? In my view, this was China telling investors to look at them instead of the americans. Add that to the 1 trillion yuan in investments the government has promised to make in AI, China is looking to demonstrate that it is in the game.

>to look at them instead of the americans What PRC dunking on US AI at fraction of cost, latter is key, is to ensure all the trillion dollar soverign funds DON'T invest 100s of billions in American AI because ROI looks bad now. Americans are/will still twist arms and mandating "either us or them" approach to ensure investors stay way from PRC AI... and as long as US have export controls on hardware US still retains strong leverage. But many US companies lost the snakeoil salespitch for obscene investments. IMO PRC doesn't really need outside investers (FDI single digit %s anyway), the 1T AI investment from Bank of China isn't going to prioritize LLMs / short term "AGI" grift. They're focusing on industry... biopharma etc... transforming atoms because they've got the industrial supply chain to build that humanoid robot army powered by second mover advantage models that can't make up for the fact nice prose isn't going to make US build as effeciently as PRC short of speedrunning for grey goo nano machines.
