It's also a reminder that as soon as Chinese models take the lead, they will switch to closed source too... so let's not be complacent, we need stronger, completely open data models, open source code, etc. to mitigate this risk
How do you figure that? “also a reminder that as soon as Chinese models take the lead, they will switch to closed source too”
What specifically about their release strategy “reminded” you of that conjecture?
The premise that they only open source the models … because it somehow helps them leapfrog American labs, and once they actually can leapfrog them, they’d close source them, doesn’t really track for me. Am I missing something?
I mean I think we need our own domestic open weight labs. I just don’t particularly understand the point you’re making

Based on what? Do you have real proof on it or is it just a guess that Chinese companies aren’t better than American ones?
