So this means that China’s low cost models won’t benefit the rest of the world? Then we have to make our own. If we only have expensive models and they have cheap ones they will be at a huge advantage not unlike low cost of labor advantages.

Sad to see this. They were the true disruptors to the space and gave the open source and home lab communities the opportunities to do things OpenAI and Anthropic would never allow. It also might have been the biggest factor in deflating the AI bubble we're in.

As long predicted. In 1-2 years all AI labs will be nationalized, put under military control, and models will be guarded like nuclear weapons.
