eliminating potential competition even before it poses a challenge, is a core philosophy of how murican industry does business.
when "industry leaders" whose business and funding depends on murican monies said last year that India does not need to develop own LLM and India should stick to building wrappers. the all knowing IT crowd who generally have an strong emotional opinions on everything under the sky, failed to realise how stupid it was to take these "industry leaders" at their word.
while the SM algorithms kept the IT crowd busy making them believe "gormint is wrong" "system is wrong" "muh roads" "muh pot holes" "muh tax payers" blah blah, the real steal happened right under their asses on their comfy office chairs.
we will know only years down the line, how financially costly this is going to be.
is there any info available on whether and how much chini have trained their models (deepseek or otherwise) on chinese language internally?
