Aren't these open models so cheap because they're (partially) chinese gov. sponsored, and because they're stealing and redistributing the IP that comes in?

Well I can't speak to the chinese gov part, but ALL the models are IP laundering systems. I'd rather IP get laundered into open source.
Whose IP do you think they are stealing? According to US courts, training is fair use. And even if it wasn't, they are distilling output from other models, which isn't copyrightable, again according to US courts.
And the American ones are stealing and redistributing the IP of every single person who authored anything on the internet at some point.
Maybe, but there's tons of providers available, so you can pick one that you trust not to steal your IP (or run it yourself, if you're rich and paranoid enough).
Technically correct, the worst kind of correct :)
How dare they steal what we already stole!
