alt Hacker NewsIf a Chinese model can do it for $1-10K, then why hasn't one?
Why have all the mathematical (and now cryptographic) breakthroughs come from OpenAI and Anthropic?
Is it possibly because the Chinese models are so benchmaxxed they can't make novel discoveries?

They're a few months behind the frontier, which, by the way, only started making these discoveries in the last few months.

Don't know if one has or not, but a lack of announcement is not a lack of success.

Perhaps since the Chinese companies don't have the economy of an entire global superpower riding on them, they can't afford to light $100k+ on fire doing random shit with the hope it'll turn out a research paper.
