That’s assuming China would not start controlling the access to their models.

- hgoel 4mo agoChina has no reason to do that. The US is freely handing them the international market for AI.
- sajithdilshan 4mo agoAre they though? I see this as a precautious method by US to maintain AI model superiority so the Chinese companies cannot distill from the US frontier models. Let's see how fast Chinese models would improve without access to latest US models and if they keep on releasing open models

- Daishiman 4mo ago> Let's see how fast Chinese models would improve without access to latest US models and if they keep on releasing open models Chinese tech has been on an exponential growth trajectory. If they see the need for AI superiority then there's really no moat for AI companies.
- sajithdilshan 4mo agoThey do see the importance of AI superiority. The whole modern infrastructure as well as national security relies on AI superiority. Imagine a system smart enough to find vulnerabilities and get into any system that’s connected to internet. Which country wouldn’t want to have it

- hgoel 4mo agoIt doesn't matter how much more superior the US's models are if international companies are worried that the US government may cut off access arbitrarily and without warning.
- frollogaston 4mo agoUS just needs their internationally usable model to be better than China's. If China catches up, US starts releasing more powerful models.
- codedokode 4mo agoIf US models cost 20x compared to China, they have to be at least 20x better.
- frollogaston 4mo agoMaybe, but the cheap models aren't the subject of the clamp-down here
- sajithdilshan 4mo agoLet’s see how fast China would catch up. This would be a good indicator on how much Chinese companies relied on US frontier models to improve their own
- throwa356262 4mo agoChinese companies can make a killing selling on prem AI systems to the rest of the world now. Big boxes with Huawei GPUs and Chinese open models to run inside your company without network access.
- sajithdilshan 4mo agoThey could, but I can imagine if US keeps on blocking the cutting edge models, China would never ship the cutting edge models and would still make a killing shipping models that are powerful enough for most of business cases
- throwa356262 4mo agoSerious question: why not? Because China doesn't have the hardware to do this? Or the brains?

- sajithdilshan 4mo agoYou do understand that China copied the R&D from west. It cannot be that China invented all the technology in < 10 years where other countries had to research for decades. One example is that Germany was the leading research in solar panels, but China was able to replicate and mass produce it, but without initial German investment on r&d, it would have taken decades longer for China to obtain that technology
- dakolli 4mo agoOkay dude, whatever makes you feel good. I don't want to interrupt your cope, you're right, China can't compete with the West.
- kristopolous 4mo agoWhy do people always fearmonger China speculatively doing things that the US is actively doing?
