They want to create a monopoly and destroy every competitor, before they got a chance to rival them.
Why can't OSS software rival closed source software? It should be an open market, at least "somewhat", what's happening for real? EU providers will also get banned, if they reach or exceed US model capabilties?
Closed source providers can close your account at a whim like and destroy your business and then use the data you supplied them to create a competitor (Meta, Google, OpenAI, Anthrophic).
Well Zai's GLM 5.2 legitimately is a frontier-level model, though not quite parallel with Opus or Fable. Unfortunately, its too damn big to run locally for most people. Thats the bottleneck right now; the open-weight models exist but something capable of competing with the frontier models just can't run on anything normal yet.
