As AI gets more expensive, popularity of Chinese AI models like DeepSeek is growing fast, even though these models are not as good as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Industry experts believe the cost pressure is real and most companies will move to a hybrid model for AI use.
capitalist world requires huge subsidies to make their AIs kinda work, and those models are expensive, bloatware, resource intensive and mostly crappy anyways
socialist world makes open source models, mostly free to use or very cheap, lightweight, easy to configure and customize, and pretty decent
how socialism always is better playing the capitalist game than capitalist class themselves?
The worst part is OpenAI and the likes made good non-LLM AI in their early days, they just stopped because these models were made to get people acquainted with AI and get them social recognition. Like the Whisper speech-to-text (transcription) model is honestly still pretty good, and people keep building on it to make it more efficient or qualitative. It came out in September 2022!
They have the talent and the resources to pool this talent together and make stuff, they just misapply it.
