”Baaaaah… at no point was China appreciably behind in generative AI. Not when ChatGPT was released and not now.
OpenAI prematurely released ChatGPT as a fund raising exercise. Three years and multiple iterations later, it’s still a fundraising exercise.
At the time, Tsinghua’s Wu Dao model was the most sophisticated (most parameters and multimodal well before its time). They just were not interested in releasing an uncommercial version into the market just to fund raise.
Wu Dao’s tech is now spread out in Huawei, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kling etc which are in now way behind US AI offerings… with investment spend a fraction of the US.
This Westoid AI circle jerking is just that. Westoids jerking each other off in one of the few tech fields they’re still competitive in… which is hoovering up resources from everything else.”
