they are praising xi, that friend of humanity, for releasing weights for kimi k3

The headline from 7 years ago has not borne out; Africa is a minor supplier.

The point is quite different: that everyone is harmed by advanced open weight agentic models even as we are benefited by them. This holds of African states as of any other. Many of them, by the way, are under attack from well-funded moderately insane groups like JNIM. Also by the way, groups like this are famously really good at recruiting the specific psychical type of the engineer.

It is not possible that releasing open weights will continue forever, or probably even to the end of the year.

China has no end of money to support these companies. The reason this equilibrium is unstable is that the autonomous agentic coding aspect of the models has been so successfully improved that it will soon be a threat to China state security.

Everyone just keeps assuming, as if it were the law of gravity, that China will continue in perpetuity to deliver the weights of its 'frontier' models to Hugging Face. Its Mythos moment is a few months away and there is plenty of reporting suggesting their response will be similar, which is anyway obvious.

It baffles me that anyone can seriously believe that China is going to put its Mythos successor on Hugging Face and let us all strip the guardrails etc.

Things just didn't turn out the way OpenAI and Anthropic thought; nor did they turn out the way China thought.

Everyone keeps assuming that China will forever be publishing these models, but it is clear as a bell that that day is over. In the end every model will be buried under state control for the simple reason that they will soon be really dangerous, as China understands better than anyone. They will give Kimi K3 to the Sinaloa cartel and the US military, but that's about the end of it.

Perfecting these autonomous agential coding AIs just moved way way faster than anyone expected. People are desperately trying to save their principles from six months ago but it's a different world. They can work out their issues with Trump, Dario and Sam, but it is Xi who will shut all this down.

China will be dropping the open models blather any day now. The autonomous agential coding Ai just turned out to be way too easy to perfect. They will give Kimi K3 to the Sinaloa cartel on Monday, but that's going to be the end of it.

Don't worry, kimi k3 will be open in a few days and anyone can bomb all the schools they want.

One mentions distillation to intimate that one is in fact still the leader. It has zero to do with fairness.

The US is a genocidal ethnostate. The few remaining Jews of the planet are mostly 'oriental' and are ethnicized by the Islamic world they have been exprelled from.

These articles are for the sake of the misleading headline. The postmonotheistic planet is in a fever that is far far far more profound, delusional and apocalyptic than anything thing in the 30s.

If the weights are published, we can run them in our ‘murican datacenters. Everything about this Will China Win discourse seems like fan fic or sports discourse

Is anyone setting up data centers in USA to give inference with top-notch full-powered K3 (say)? I mean, you get the model for free; you get lower latency.

Dunno I put to deep seek the question what I’d need in hardware to get full service k3 with lower latency in western pa (I was making like it was a business proposition.) It says several million dollars at minimum.

It’s AI talking about AI so cum grano salis, but my AI is saying I would need at least a half million dollar in hardware to run the newer high quality Chinese models with bemchmark-competitive force.

You can run a Moroccan chicken fragment on the cheap in homage to what you cannot run

Open weights are a red herring if you can’t run the model independently. Good luck fitting these models on your Mac mini.

In fact the superior models are irreducibly nothing but superior web services run from China.

Isn’t it basically impossible to run the newer high quality Chinese models locally, even for a corporation? The better they get, the more they need a data center. So, the ‘better’ Chinese AI gets , the more it will just be a service run on Chinese hardware competing with ‘our’ lower latency AIs .

The open source character of the models is irrelevant if you need a nuclear powered data center for inference. In the end it is just another internet service.
