They came to do a "deep dive" developers' workshop with us and all the materials were things that are literally on their public website. Let that sink in: Their idea of a deep dive for developers was to have some sales guy read us parts of their website.

Sounds like most corporate deep dives I've attended tbh

Yeah I guess two companies who would otherwise be considered going for bankruptcy have models too expensive to run. As they don't see themselves making money any time soon, they have to turn every future model into a weird fascination.

China’s DeepSeek prices new V4 AI model at 97% below OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Did somebody say that Elon is stealthly funding: Seven lawsuits filed against OpenAI by families of Canada mass-shooting victims As always, when the going get's tough, the tough ultimately resort to lawsuits.

If the difference is that large, it seems plausible to me that the Chinese models are subsidized in order to gain market share, this is not exactly the first time the Chinese government has done so (or at least been rumoured to have done so).

You should assume that everyone has a hidden agenda when money is involved.

In this case, this point is kinda moot since the entire US and SV tech ecosystem, has been subsidized first by the US defense industry during the cold war, and after by the US government funded VCs by its unique cheat-code ability to infinitely print the world reserve currency with little to no inflation consequences upon its own economy, and dump it on its tech sector or on the free market to buy foreign competitors before they become a challenge, in order to be ahead of everyone else.

Given this, I find criticisms of China's state subsidize to pale in comparison, when we talk about what is "fair".

It’s their promo price till the end of May. It’s also not nearly as good as 5.5. I’ve had 3 different tasks just this week that deepseek has failed at that 5.5 does perfectly.

"my model is the most dangerous" "No mine is the most dangerous" "Nuh uh mine is" "Mine could kill everyone!" "Mine could do it faster!" "Prove it!!!" This is where we are

Can't wait for the Chinese models to completely wipe the floor with them in 6 months.

If deepseek is anything to go by they are still significantly behind.

I wonder how long till some breakthrough comes along that makes a new architecture that can run efficiently and cheaper on basic hardware, that'd be the real AI bubble, if you could train and run inference locally at lower cost. Microsoft had one that is supposed to run fine on regular CPUs though I'm not sure how far along we can reasonably take that. They say our brains can store 2.5 PB, but we use drastically less…

How long? We already have that. Qwen3.6 have 35b/27b models that beat chatgpt4o. You can run them at home in one GPU. DeepSeekV4 just came up with a new way to have super long context with KV cache an order of magnitude smaller than before. It's already going on!

I've been experimenting with running a few models for local inference, some of them get "stuck" in a repeat loop of trying the same thing endlessly, its weird. Others are really good. If they can ever handle about 400k tokens (maybe less, but from experience with Claude after the 1 million token increase this seemed to be a good sweet spot) without going batcrap crazy I'll be impressed, mostly because I would like them to read more of the codebase instead of just making assumptions. Although I've been building a custom harness, and I'm just about to start working on the tool building features for the harness. I already have a system similar to what Beads does but I didn't like some things about Beads so I made my own to track tasks, so context window doesnt need to be super massive for task tracking.

Remember that they have been saying that since gpt2. I didn't think crying could be such a successful business model.

People keep on mentioning gpt2, but it's worth recalling that back in 2019 it was basically the first model that was capable of zero-shot generation of coherent multi-paragraph text. Having it write security exploits like Mythos wasn't even on the radar. Rather, the concerns were about misuse and societal implications, which in retrospect were pretty prescient: https://openai.com/index/gpt-2-6-month-follow-up/

These models demonstrably have good vulnerability research capabilities. I'm sure their marketing department is ecstatic but you guys are far more hype-based than what you're calling out.

> demonstrably I'm not entirely up to date on each week's LLM hype train/scandal but last I heard there was no public access to it or public-trusted 3rd parties that can review model's capabilities

I don't think so

I doubt it. By not releasing it, Chinese companies will be unable to break TOS and use it to acquire high quality training data...which, I suspect, is how they've kept pace

Z.AI, Moonshot, DeepSeek all have a pipeline of data of their own now due to capturing a slice of the market through cheap tokens. It's not impossible to imagine that they might share the data too if the CCP thinks that will help their AI strategy.
