Open models — which are free to download, modify and integrate by developers — make it easier for start-ups to create products and researchers to improve them. Widespread adoption will confer outsized influence over AI’s future.
China wants AI more than money. USA wants money more than AI. Long term plan vs short term plan.
US AI is concentrated in a few super-large players with closed systems chasing AGI. Chinese AI is free to use by the world’s developers for today’s real world applications of AI. Chinese AI is even starting to become the default in the US among Silicon Valley start-ups.
Around the world, tens of thousands of businesses are going to want their own AI systems & they’ll build that on top of open-source foundations.
It works better, is cheaper to the point it’s probably free, and while they’re definitely going to store/sell your data, they’re actually less likely than an American tech company.
And that’s not even getting into how many people are in China and would view it as the default
Interesting to see Chinese Open-Source AI ahead of the US in global usage figures.
Open weights is not open source…

That’s why we now have AI enabled toys that declare Taiwan is part of China and Xi Jinping is beyond mockery.
Surely you have an example of one such toy on the market?
You want facts? on Lemmy? Gtfo
I mean, it makes perfect sense.
