Funny how »open is dangerous« only became the dominant narrative once Chinese models caught up: If your competitive moat depends on governments blocking free alternatives instead of building better products, maybe your moat isn’t technology at all.

Ever since facts have been replaced by ideologies, the obvious has increasingly become a mystery.

I don’t about your business, but we’ve had LOT of conversations about how much we trust these models. Not just about data egress, but on what they are trained to do/not to do - Chinese or not.

Absolutely. Trust isn’t binary, and it isn’t unique to Chinese models either. Every (frontier) model reflects the incentives, values and constraints of whoever built it. That’s exactly why competition matters.
