> This is Google v Oracle all over again - are APIs copyrightable? No, it is completely different. Claude was trained on chardet, anything built by Claude would fail the clean-room reimplementation test.

kid, time to grow up and face the reality Chinese models are developed by Chinese corporate. they are free and open weight because they are the underdog atm. they are not here for fun, they are here to compete.

forcing the US to copy Chinese designs? Ford is openly discussing the idea to have joint ventures with Chinese EV makers, the whole idea is to get Chinese EV techs in exchange for US market access. TikTok takeover is another good example.
