> As for the export controls, they explicitly exempt already-open models

Well... obviously. What the fuck is the point of export controlling an already open model.

> for future ones

Nope. >2T models (i.e todays frontier) is explicitly not allowed.

> China isn't the US. They don't share the same ideology, strategy or conclusions.

Money and power know no ideology. They do pretty much the exact same things as the US as well (from a 3rd country's POV). They expand territory, they capture industries, etc, etc, etc,.

> Keynote speech by Chinese President Xi Jinping

Do you take the same literal interpretations of other politicians' speeches? Surely you know thats politicking, the same way every G2/G7 leader says they want a collaborative world blah blah but it's naive to not know that it is cutthroat competition in reality.

> they would give it away to destroy the capitalist mode of production

Well, I won't take that dream away from you, but you're gonna be disappointed in this particular case, in our lifetime, with this particular country, atleast :)

It's mostly because of ads though. Not cross shopping.

> explicitly the Chinese strategy

Oh come on, this post sounds like one of those twitter bots. No one seriously expected them to just give away billions in R&D for free, and they arent. The chinese model companies are actively moving away from the open source setup. Even state export controls.

> They just want to monetize and scale out their hyperscalers and the associated shared services, which is what AI has become.

Yeah, for that, distribution via SaaS-ish products is important right? My thinking for now is that 10 years down the line, the responses API is not going to be what any of these guys will be selling. Rather it will be like whatever salesforce is doing, or that recently announced GPT-Synopsys product. Or stripe, AWS, type companies will sell it integrated here and there. Chinese software doesn't have that same reach right.

Within china of course they can scale out if thats what you meant

What's the chance of it actually working though. The distribution of chinese software is not that good (e.g theyre pretty much never gonna be the first model in whatever frankenstein salesforce is going to sell).

> APIs, apps and cloud services would be exempt, preserving overseas access to Chinese models

Makes sense. A lot of people I have seen that use chinese models, just download it and host it on US or their country's infra, so no money goes to alibaba. If they are OK with API access, they just use anthropic or openai. This move will basically cut that tap and make it so if you want the cheaper chinese models, you have to pay deepseek or alibaba themselves.

I suppose instead of remote, you instead have globally distributed but in-office, these days.

I suppose they mean private equity in the boogeyman sense, which today is divorced from the plain definition "privately owned" and instead refers to the kind of private ownership that is focused on trimming the fat / squeezing the orange through enshittification as in cory doctorow.

It's calibrated where it's calibrated and not where its not. Their "confidence" score is rather bunk, so it's hard to say. As with other LLMs, you have to eval it for your setting, and if you find it calibrated, then great.
