Eric Schmidt predicts the largest US models will remain closed, while leading Chinese models stay open. Because open models are free or cheap, most governments and organizations with limited budgets will standardize on Chinese stacks, not for superior quality, but for cost and accessibility. --- From 'Imagination in Action'... show more

Eric Schmidt says China has made the inverse decision to open-source its AI models Startups already use these free, high-quality LLMs Over the next 5–10 years, as we get closer to AGI and hit major milestones in biology/math, the market will likely flood with millions of smaller models

Yann LeCun says the best open models are not coming from the West. Researchers across the field are using Chinese models. Openness drove AI progress. Close access, and the West risks slowing itself.

The US government is becoming more involved in controlling AI models, while open-source Chinese models are improving at a rapid pace. Jordi Visser explains why this should push more people to open-source AI in the coming months.

Director of Research at Google, Peter Norvig: open-source models now allow anyone to build competitive models at a lower cost. Eric Schmidt (ex-google CEO) was initially against open sourcing due to risks like biosecurity threats ...but now supports open sourcing and admits "cat’s already out of the bag"

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the US - China AI race: The U.S. is chasing AGI. China is shipping day-to-day AI apps, and robotics. If Chinese open-source models get good enough, much of the world could end up building on them.

4 years ago we were on the brink of AI becoming proprietary and centralized, when OpenAI kept GPT3 closed and VCs started dumping money on researchers. From fully open science, to fully closed, in a matter of months. It was scary, and 1,000+ leading researchers and scientists banded together to show the world that it was possible to do the same work in the open, and build an ecosystem that benefits everyone. That was the BigScience Research Workshop BLOOM project, and it put us back on track to open science, starting with forward-thinking organizations like Meta releasing OPT. Look at us now. Open models have not only caught up, they're state of the art now. Not just LLMs, but models for document AI, speech to text, text to speech, generating images and more. We're closing in on 2 million open weight models on Hugging Face. Thanks for the reminder Thomas Wolf .

The quality, cost, and control you can achieve for upscaling + fixing plastic AI skin with open source models still amazes me... Models used: → Z-image-turbo for image gen (~3s) → SDXL + Lora for skin texture (~15s) → SeedVR2 for upscaling (~40s)

Before Claude Fable 5 got banned, I turned all my fine-tuning research and experiments into a product: (A CLI for data generation to fine-tune AI models). Finetuner uses Codex 5.5 or Opus 4.8 as the orchestrator and Chinese models (DeepSeek v4 Pro, Kimi K2.7, MiMo v2.5, etc.) to generate dataset rows. This system is unique because these are not Python-script-paraphrased datasets. Each and every row is handcrafted by Chinese models based on the orchestrator model's instructions. Now anyone can generate datasets to fine-tune small language models (1B to 30B models). I achieved 10x lower costs and 5x better dataset quality. Releasing the product in a few days. (I'll open-source the skills.)

Anthropic will soon need fewer junior and mid-level people, not because demand drops, but because the work itself gets absorbed by their own AI models. --- From 'DWS News' YT channel (link in comment)

ELON: CHINA HAS THE BEST OPEN SOURCE AI MODELS RIGHT NOW “The best open source models are generally from China, which is bizarre.

“We have a crisis of open source models in the Western world. Outside of China, there are no good open source models. We don't even have any in the US now. The talent, the capital and the focus to be best-in-class at pre-training, mid-training, post-training is an extremely scarce skillset. The answer for a lot of countries may just be to take an open weights model from China, post-train or fine-tune their own version, and have that be what they start from." Everett Randle Why does the West have such poor open source models and is it a national security threat to rely on open-source Chinese models Demis Hassabis Yann LeCun Aidan Gomez Lilian Weng Jan Leike

🇨🇳 CHINESE AI COMPANIES RISING AFTER DEEP SEEK SHOCK Deep Seek stunned the world in January by releasing an open-source AI rivaling US giants. Its breakthrough spotlighted China's AI scene globally. Although not on the AI 50 list due to opaque financials, Chinese companies like Tencent (with its Nuan video app), ByteDance (spatial models via Doba), and Alibaba (Quinn large language models) are making major global waves. Radical Ventures' Rob Toes called Alibaba “China’s Google or Meta.” Open-source models are fueling China's AI ascent—fast, bold, and increasingly hard to ignore. Source: Forbes
