This is a normal post Will struggle to overinflate AI value now

This is a normal post It was more avarice about the data they took than the money
Maybe the wrong word...
It's bullshit the Chinese one was only done with 6 million. 6 million....plus a significant undeclared proportion of the defence budget.

This is a normal post 6 Million in declared GPUs
A few Billion in the undeclared ones.

This is a normal post It's not just the declared value (which I agree is likely bollocks), it's the fact it's open source
Yes there are other open source models, but this made headlines. The fact you can run it offline is a big one, outside of those tasty data harvesting big players

This is a normal post Except it isn't open source. It's open weight. People are confusing the two.

This is a normal post It's mostly open source, good enough
I'm sure some smarty pants will fork that fully in due time. Probably Elon Musk, I hear he's pretty smart guy

This is a normal post There's a good article here that explains the key differences between open source, open weight, and why they matter:
promptengineering.org/llm-open-source-vs-open-weights-vs-restricted-weights/

The whole 'China bad, West good' rhetoric is a load of old bollocks. We're all as bad as each other. But that being said, I'm still a lot more comfortable with Musk/Zuckerberg/Bezos/Nadella farming exabytes of our personal behavioural data than I am about the Chinese government doing it.

This is a normal post Thank you, i am going to crush it when this comes up at the pub
"Oh you don't even know about 'weights'?!" *eye roll*

This is a normal post My theory is
they've published the weights (that the majority of people won't/can't use anyways) and instead baked the data harvesting straight into the mobile app, which almost everyone will use.

This is a normal post Undoubtedly.

This is a normal post Could it also be that the Chinese system is less economically corrupt?
I'd find it impossible to justify the expense of AI development. Project Stargate is just taking the fucking piss. Half a trillion dollars to aimlessly faff about with some algorithms and microchips.
