> I would be happy to see a change there towards freedom, democracy and human rights but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

because you have a western centric view on freedom, democracy and human rights. it is certainly not your fault, you were brainwashed to believe it, you are the victim.

when the US elected moron like Trump twice, with the congress full of traitors openly putting a foreign country's (which we are not allowed to name) interest first, when the UK has been in managed decline for decade, when the EU is literally ruled by far left extremists, you want to promote the western freedom and democracy? LOL

I take that as a joke.

as already suggested, buy and host your own inference system. just own both side of such "RCE". make sure you audit and use open source software for the entire stack.

you are just complaining on something that can be totally safeguarded. yes, it won't be cheap, it require a lot of work, welcome to the capitalist world.

loser mindset.

Chinese labs are not even in competition mode yet. You'd be seeing them paying you for each token you use when they are in that mode.

With GPT/Claude, hiding those from users to waste their tokens is a feature, not a limitation.

this is not very useful.

for over 1 billion real world users living in China, they don't have the option of paying $1.52 per task to use Opus 5, they are banned doing that due to US politics.

dario must be writing another angry essay arguing why his closed model AI is too dangerous to be used by others.

just imagine the world without these open weight models - we'd probably have to reverse mortgage our homes to pay for tokens to those trillion $ companies to have access to their models.

not very impressed.

in the era of AI, telling me that the core design is a plugin system that can be reloaded and extended easily is just not exciting.

it is something you feel excited 20 years ago back in the 2000s, in 2026, the expectation is agentic capabilities and self improving.

nothing scientific here, they basically just figured out some real issues caused by bad engineering practice.

according to this "map", there is only HSR train route from Shanghai to Hangzhou. in fact, it shows there are literally just HSR rails in China.

a highly inaccurate map is worse than not having such a "map".

China controls way more things, from medical needles to pharmaceutical ingredient.

Lots of them can be made in the west or west friendly countries, but that takes time, money, infrastructure and good execution. Yes, identical to what is covered in China's belt and road initiatives. See the gap now?

If that is the case, it means one thing only - US labs don't have moat whatsoever and their expectation to have trillion dollar valuation is just laughable.

Chinese AI researchers living in China can easily afford to have a butler managing a few living in nannies and a full time driver/personal assistant.

Good luck for getting that type of life in silicon valley.
