What most people seems to not understand is that sooner or later this tech will be used against you.

Who knows tomorrow we might be the enemy.



Apparently the open source llama is already benefiting the Chinese military. The technology is already out there. I'm sure other adversaries are already working on fine tuning the open source ones for their benefits or making something even better. So just sit back and watch the fireworks.

The best open source LLMs are Chinese (Qwen 2.5 and Hunyuan)


China can train 70B and 400B LLM models using pre-sanction Nvidia GPUs.

The only reason they are loudly announcing "Hey our military is using YOUR open source models" is to trigger fearmongering and overzealous regulation in the West and make us less competitive in AI.


Or NVidia H20, which is Hopper GPU for China, very similar to H100 NVL 96GB.

This was used by Tencent for their SOTA open source model (Hunyuan).
