Most of your analysis I can easily relate to except “There is evidence that the Chinese models are falling further behind, not gaining.” Where is that evidence? Deepseekv4 claims to be trailing front runners by six months. I read people agreeing with this. I watched Eric Schmidt to recently make similar comments. Is he just scaremongering? Why do you claim they are falling behind?
A few evidence I pieced together:
1. Ex-ByteDance Engineer said so recently: https://www.businessinsider.com/ex-bytedance-engineer-says-c...
2. A benchmark concludes so: https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2026/05/caisi-evaluati...
3. Generally, people say Chinese models bench better than they perform
I think it seems to make sense given that China does not have access to Blackwell while in the past, they at least had access to gimped H200s.
