I'm not looking forward to it, them being strapped for resources provides a huge incentive to develop and release these smaller models. Even if they'd still release their models once they are able to comfortably service all potential customers via their cloud, running them locally would be almost impossible due to their size.

Personally I'm hoping for EU to step up a bit

How about we hope for Chinese labs to continue pushing forward - and for America and the rest of the world to do so as well.

It needn't be competitive - everybody can succeed more tomorrow than they are today. You win. I win. We win.

You're clearly not an American and they will never catch up on hardware. I'm mostly curious why you are so excited for China to "crush" American companies?

Good luck when the last non-Chinese frontier labs will have closed and the CCP will ask to stop sharing models open source.
