     @sun i'd like to see what american politicians are invested in this scam as well
     what was this a distraction from btw
     because this is way over the heads of the majority of the public
     its basically like the us gov going on endlessly about muh ussr and muh h bombs
     seems like another patriot act ploy and a means of domestic control

     @TrevorGoodchild @sun Extremely unlikely without using accounting tricks. There is no publicly known scheme for training models that size that doesn't require a ton of compute.
     
     Either they have a new scheme, which has taken a lot of research and time to find out, or they are using some local chip which took a ton of time and money to make.

     @sickburnbro Nation that dominates the global manufacturing sector by finding ways to reduce costs/overhead by orders of magnitude somehow . . . couldn't do it in this case?

     • Trevor Goodchild:verified::pondering_orb:
     @TrevorGoodchild But then it's not "they developed a model for $5m", but "they developed a new chip" - which is a different question. I also don't think they developed a chip which allows training a 80b+ for that cost.
     
     To get it that cheap you'd need 1) a new chip, possibly with a different way of running computations on it and a corresponding new method to train models or a radically different model.
     
     From what I've seen, it seems to be a very similar model.
     
     What I've *heard* is that they are running the finished model on a local chip, but that's about 2 steps bhind.

     @TrevorGoodchild I **do** think that china can do it cheaper than OpenAI - but this speed/cost difference just doesn't seem real, and China has a known history of lying about products.

     @brigrammer @TrevorGoodchild it's all due to the layers of "ethics" bullshit they add. The US ones have regressed in abilities as people found "exploits" and they tried to patch fixes.

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild does it really matter if it was some magic to train the AI cheaper or just a lie to disrupt the market when the China AI knows Jews are bad while the American AI can't count the r's in "strawberry"

     people focused on how much it cost ignore the real story - non-kike AI is available, and that makes the kike AI worthless

     the biggest problem with AI was that it was massively censored to prevent wrong think

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild the whole value proposition for OpenAI was that

     1. these AIs will captivate and control the people - companies declaring "We will make AI content instead of paying creators"
     2. they wanted to be able to ensure all of the managerial thought control from the "better men" would keep the people from wrong thinking, and control them on the cheap
     3. the important people would get access to the real/good AI which will do all kinds of useful things - the masses won't be allowed to do anything powerful
     4. the cost of making the AI was meant to be a moat to ensure a monopoly of control

     how cheap DeepSeek was to make is less important than that the Chinese just broke all of these

     @brigrammer @TrevorGoodchild Sure. But there were people training open-source models without the ethics shit, the difference is that none of them had access to the scale of compute needed to train a 70 or 130B
     
     So perhaps this is a "the world realizes OpenAI aren't magic" correction, but it was looking like people were going to be able to train an open source 130 soon anyway especially with the unified memory systems, albeit at like 5x the time

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild They have real material constraints. How much cheaper might be a question, but they do not have the same access to the particular chips nvidia makes that are prioritized for AI. They do have them, but way fewer than OpenAI.

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild Yea, they’re a restricted export. China still gets them through Singapore, but not in the same amounts. They get access to a gimped version, though.

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild 1) Japan raising rates had more of a technical impact on markets due to disruption of the carry trade than any narrative around AI. Institutions aren’t panic selling here…
     
     2) This isn’t being developed in a vacuum from scratch.
     
     2a) They have a robust system for corporate espionage.
     
     3) Application specific integrated circuits didn’t have particularly huge research costs, they might be doing something similar here.
     
     4) They’re going for “good enough“ with this whole system, which is why it works better. Pareto principle and all that.
