The problem is that China fakes everything, and even when they have something close to what they describe, anything IT related becomes an instant security risk.

And of course TH didn't verify any of this claims, otherwise they will have nothing to write about when finding all of this is nothing but the usual "Chinese" claims.

Here, write another article about this: "one guy manage to build chatgpt7 using only 24 8 bits microcontrollers"

Honestly, how is that even a feat if true? They're piggybacking on all the work OpenAI's scientists have done anyways.

Its kind of like the 6th guy to make fire saying he is sooo much better because he did it faster than the first guy. When the 6th guy was able to watch guys 1-5 do it.

After writing "01.ai had to train its Yi-Lightning model using 2,000 undisclosed GPUs", it is a nonsense to write "The numbers, however, do not add up. One Nvidia H100 GPU costs around $30,000, so two thousands of such GPUs would cost $6 million"

... China fakes everything, ...

This is obviously a false affirmation.

Because can demostrate a better way to do the same things. Obviously.

And OpenAI is piggybacking all the research done by others previously. Every technological progress work like this.

I see my entire point completely went over your head.

Kai Fu Lee is pretty reputable having an American PhD in Computer Science and leading teams at Microsoft, Google and Apple. I'd believe him.
