It’s called “off-site training”??

OpenAI has gotten virtually unlimited funding for years. It has first dibs and deep discounts on Microsoft data centers.

And somehow, despite every single trade restriction, multiple random startup companies in China (that don't even know how to secure their own databases) manage to make LLMs that outperform it.

I'm not saying that because Chinese companies are uniquely cool. I'm saying that because this whole AI thing is uniquely stupid.

It's an interesting observation. Chinese tend to run scrappy operations with something like a "do it no matter what, ethics be damned" strategy.

But it doesn't bode too well for OpenAIs current level given how much funding and talent they presumably have.

That's just another way of saying "move fast and break things".

Probably the training data.

Oh perhaps taking them out of the country then. I imagined the persons were only taking the hard drives into China
