Andrew Ng and Yann LeCun: US Is Losing AI Race Due to Closed Models

1 day ago (haebom.dev)

Open-source AI models are a big deal. In robotics and CV open models like Segment Anything are what made object segmentation way more accessible. This is a strong force pushing Physical AI forward!

Is it really a race? Western Ai companies are releasing some dumbed down open weights too. Maybe the closed source chinese models are so much better, they are kept under wraps by the chinese military.

It's incredible China is opening their weights and half our companies aren't. It's a complete inversion of how things have worked for so long. Very disappointing.

Whether a model is open or closed is beside the point. How much value are they generating?

In any scientific or technological domain, the mentality of us vs. them is poisonous. Humanity is in it together.
