The only evidence you have is US here and all the frontier models from China are free to download. Pure projection.

- ryan_n 2mo agoI might be missing something but what exactly is being projected here? The US did what the author said. It's not farfetched to imagine geopolitical conflicts could, at some point, drive china to do something similar. > all the frontier models from China are free to download Maybe? Again, not hard to imagine that they might not be releasing their actual frontier models to the public.
- sivakon 2mo agoThe link I shared mentions their AI strategy. Short version is this: putting export controls on AI open-source will hinder their own internal open-source ecosystem
