Indeed, that argument doesn't really work. I suspect the argument will be that they're untrustworthy and will give a distorted view of reality with subtle propaganda shown with a video of someone asking non open weights Chinese models about Tianamen Square or something.

Another approach is that they will form a cartel for running US inference focused datacenters and will pivot to selling services using it.

Maybe not as good as Claude, but they are good enough, and open-source, and free. The US market is going to learn the hard way why open-source curbstomps greedy bullshit.

Correct, the American frontier models Claude Opus, GPT 5.4, GPT 5.5, and Gemini 3 Pro still score better (while costing significantly more), but the runner ups are all Chinese models.

Then it'll just come from Germany or France or elsewhere. It doesn't take millions of dollars to train a good model, despite these US companies pretending that it does.

Well, it does. Deepseek-R1 cost $6 million and that was considered to be very cheap. Europe only really has Mistral's models, Proton's Lumo and several models that focus on transparency, ethically sourced training data, and supposedly better local language support (OpenEuroLLM, GPT-NL), but they're by far not as good as other models and I don't expect them to be for quite some time.

I've said this before. The Chinese models are significantly better and will outcompete the models from the US, it was just a matter of people realizing that.

My other prediction, being that they will lobby for tariffs or banning Chinese models outright also seems to be coming true.

A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat

Build American AI, a nonprofit linked to a super PAC bankrolled by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is funding a campaign to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about China.

I do wonder how Europe is going to react. Will they just focus on their home grown Mistral or will they consider Chinese open weight models? I feel like the EU is quite wary of anything Chinese and that many people won't fully comprehend the actual security risk and that they will initially dismiss are avoid them, but they can't ignore it forever. Qwen 3.6 35B which can be ran at home is already leaving Mistral's latest models in the dust.

E.g. when you have a proprietary program that is only available on x86, but you want to run it on ARM.

I found that most electrical boxes and cellular antennas aren't mapped. I suspect for that reason.

Why not just use F-Droid?

Two years later, Masnick coined the name when writing about Marco Beach Ocean Resort's takedown notice to urinal.net (a site dedicated to photographs of urinals) over its use of the resort's name.

I guess that exists

Tip, get a domain with your last name so you can immediately change the name and have the old email redirect to the new

Serif font

I noticed that many Chinese sites e.g. from Huawei use Serif fonts for certain elements where this is very uncommon for US sites. Does anyone else notice this? Is it because it's not noticeable when text is written in symbols?

For anyone else that is interested in what came of him:

Xu was expelled from the CCP and sentenced to five years in prison. He lived the rest of his life exiled from Beijing and died in 2021 at the age of 85.

Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".
