A leaked internal memo has revealed CEO Sam Altman warning staff of "rough vibes" and a potential revenue growth collapse to 5% as OpenAI races to catch Google.
China is ahead by pretty much every metric that matters. They publish vastly more papers, they dominate in terms of open models, including within silicon valley itself, and they’ve actually found practical applications for this tech because they have massive industrial niche they can apply it to.
Another interesting point that I haven’t mentioned much is that China being cut off from latest chips turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Chinese companies were forced to find software workarounds for training and running the models on slower hardware, but that resulted in the models becoming ever more efficient. Now China has practical AI that doesn’t need huge server farms to run, and that can be used anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, the top end proprietary models from the US might be a bit ahead in terms of peak performance, but they’re far less efficient, and you can only use them through subscriptions to US companies. Which also means you have to give up your data.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Chinese tech will become the world standard at this point.
Whose winning the ai race last I checked china was ahead?
