This may be true and if so, bravo for them! But China says shit ALL THE TIME that is totally untrue or has insane caveats. I’ll reserve my thoughts until the results are verified- both claims (power usage, and comparable performance/accuracy).
And even if it‘s true I‘m curious what it has to say about the Tiananmen Square massacre, Mao’s head count or the Corona pandemic. Huawei’s recent AI model that was developed for the western market failed to answer these and other uncomfortable questions with flying colors. Instead it gets very passive aggressive if you even briefly imply China isn’t the perfect utopia.
It would be foolish of them to lie considering their model is open source and uploaded to a public repository. The hardware specs for running it are pretty steep, but third parties are already doing it.
They probably did build it. It’s possible they sourced the necessary chips through intermediaries. Sanctions aren’t going to stop them from getting their hands on small batches.
Sanctions will prevent them from being able to do this at scale. They can’t source enough high end chips to really build out the infrastructure to take advantage of AI for their economy at large.
You mean like when we banned them from Gorilla Glass for their phones so they made an even better glass that is now the strongest!?
But what’s even stronger than a gorilla? Two gorillas??
I’m not seeing that? Panda glass? It’s notably less flexible than gorilla glass. Can you share a link?
Kunlun.
If that’s what it takes to get genuine innovation into our phones, at long last, so be it.
Russia being able to source silicon for their rockets was not enough of confirmation that sanctions are just a PR tactic along with minor inconvenience?
Jfc, US supplied Israel with uranium for their nuclear program, nobody was punished and government covered it up.
Russia being able to source silicon for their rockets was not enough of confirmation that sanctions are just a PR tactic along with minor inconvenience?
That Russia keeps sourcing Western chips for their rockets does not mean sanctions are “just a PR tactic along with minor inconvenience”. By forcing Russia to buy chips through intermediaries, each of which marks up prices to turn a profit, sanctions (a) drive up their cost, thus limiting what Russia can spend elsewhere, and (b) improve the negotiating power of the states harbouring those sanctions-evading intermediaries at the expense of Russia’s, which further weakens their already shaky international standing.
Why the fuck does the page load way at the bottom lol
