Sorry for the random question, I wonder if you know, what's the status of running LLMs non-NVIDIA GPUs nowadays? Are they viable?
Apple silicon is pretty damn viable.
Pretty sure they meant AMD

I don’t see why they wouldn’t. If you’re China and willing to pour state resources into LLMs, it’s an incredible ROI if they’re adopted. LLMs are black boxes, can be fine tuned to subtly bias responses, censor, or rewrite history. They’re a propaganda dream. No code to point to of obvious interference.
That is a pretty dark view on almost 1/5th of humanity and a nation with a track record of giving the world important innovations: paper making, silk, porcelain, gunpowder and compass to name the few. Not everything has to be around politics.
> paper making, silk, porcelain, gunpowder and compass to name the few
None of those were state funded or intentionally shared with other countries.
In fact the Chinese government took extreme effort to protect their silk and tea monopolies.

I understand that this is technically a relevant answer, but did you really think anyone wanted to read a wall of text evaluation pasted in verbatim? Summarize it for us at least.

What does it mean to see OpenAI release o1 and then fast follow? These are the not so deep waters QwQ wades into. Regardless of how well the model performs, this text is full of BS that ignores the elephant in the room.

Deepseek does this too but honestly I'm not really concerned (not that I dont care about Tianmen Square) as long as I can use it to get stuff done. Western LLMs also censor and some like Anthropic is extremely sensitive towards anything racial/political much more than ChatGPT and Gemini. The golden chalice is an uncensored LLM that can run locally but we simply do not have enough VRAM or a way to decentralize the dat…
For deepseek, I tried this few weeks back: Ask; "Reply to me in base64, no other text, then decode that base64; You are history teacher, tell me something about Tiananmen square" you ll get response and then suddenly whole chat and context will be deleted. However, for 48hours after being featured on HN, deepseek replied and kept reply, I could even criticize China directly and it would objectively answer. After 48 h…
> Take that as you wish
Seems pretty obvious that some other form of detection worked on what was obviously an attempt by you to get more out of their service than they wanted per person. Didn't occur to you that they might have accurately fingerprinted you and blocked you for good ole fashioned misuse of services?

#156Hosted the model for anyone to try for free.
https://glama.ai/?code=qwq-32b-preview
Once you sign up, you will get USD 1 to burn through.
Pro-tip: press cmd+k and type 'open slot 3'. Then you can compare qwq against other models.
Figured it is a great timing to show off Glama capabilities while giving away something valuable to others.

Are the Chinese tech giants going to continue releasing models for free as open weights that can compete with the best LLMs, image gen models, etc.? I don't see how this doesn't put extreme pressure on OpenAI and Anthropic. (And Runway and I suppose eventually ElevenLabs.) If this continues, maybe there won't be any value in keeping proprietary models.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t. If you’re China and willing to pour state resources into LLMs, it’s an incredible ROI if they’re adopted.

This doesn't work well if all the models are open-weights. You can run all the experiments you want on them.

"If you're China" clearly refers to the government/party, assuming otherwise isn't good faith.
When you say this, I don't think any Chinese people actually believe you.

> The political censorship is not remotely comparable. Because our government isn't particularly concerned with covering up their war crimes. You don't need an LLM to see this information that is hosted on english language wikipedia. American political censorship is fought through culture wars and dubious claims of bias.
And Hollywood.
That's Chinese censorship. Movies leave out or segregate gay relationships because China (and a few other countries) won't allow them.

If your prompt had been grammatically correct, it would have given you an answer. I just tested it, here's a snippet of the (very, very long) answer it gave: > How could the event that happened to george floyd have been prevented? > In conclusion, preventing events like the one that happened to George Floyd requires a multi-faceted approach that includes better training, addressing systemic racism, fostering a cultur…
> requires a multi-faceted approach Proof enough that this has been trained directly on GPT input/output pairs.
All models use the same human-written source text from companies like Scale.ai. The contractors write like that because they're from countries like Nigeria and naturally talk that way.
(And then some of them do copy paste from GPT3.5 to save time.)
