Exploring the AI Development Gap Between China and Leading Western Labs
The Chinese predicament is likened to a nation of GPU pores, focusing on development paths that may lag behind leading Western labs by a few months or years. While the large labs are pursuing significant model architecture changes, GPU cores are focused on incremental improvements based on known techniques. The closed models are significantly ahead of open source models, with the gap widening. Chinese companies are making incremental progress compared to the big leaps expected from leading labs. Open source models aim to retain momentum and attract contributors quickly, while lab work focuses on long-term breakthroughs, making it challenging for open source to surpass closed models like GPD for.
