Why do americans think china is like a hivemind controlled by an omnisicient Xi, making strategic moves to undermine them? Is it really that unlikely that a lab of genius engineers found a way to improve efficiency 10x?
China is actually just one person (Xi) acting in perfect unison and its purpose is not to benefit its own people, but solely to undermine the West.

This explains so much. It’s just malice, then? Or some demonic force of evil? What does Occam’s razor suggest? Oh dear
The US Economy is pretty vulnerable here. If it turns out that you, in fact, don't need a gazillion GPUs to build SOTA models it destroys a lot of perceived value. I wonder if this was a deliberate move by PRC or really our own fault in falling for the fallacy that more is always better.

If China is undermining the West by lifting up humanity, for free, while ProprietaryAI continues to use closed source AI for censorship and control, then go team China. There's something wrong with the West's ethos if we think contributing significantly to the progress of humanity is malicious. The West's sickness is our own fault; we should take responsibility for our own disease, look critically to understand its r…

CEO of Scale said Deepseek is lying and actually has a 50k GPU cluster. He said they lied in the paper because technically they aren't supposed to have them due to export laws. I feel like this is very likely. They obvious did some great breakthroughs, but I doubt they were able to train on so much less hardware.
CEO of a human based data labelling services company feels threatened by a rival company that claims to have trained a frontier class model with an almost entirely RL based approach, with a small cold start dataset (a few thousand samples). It's in the paper. If their approach is replicated by other labs, Scale AI's business will drastically shrink or even disappear. Under such dire circumstances, lying isn't entirel…
Deepseek obviously trained on OpenAI outputs, which were originally RLHF'd. It may seem that we've got all the human feedback necessary to move forward and now we can infinitely distil + generate new synthetic data from higher parameter models.
I've always been leery about outrageous GPU investments, at some point I'll dig through and find my prior comments where I've said as much to that effect. The CEOs, upper management, and governments derive their importance on how much money they can spend - AI gave them the opportunity for them to confidently say that if you give me $X I can deliver Y and they turn around and give that money to NVidia. The problem wa…
Reddit's /r/chatgpt subreddit is currently heavily brigaded by bots/shills praising r1, I'd be very suspicious of any claims about it.
