Let’s see how fast China would catch up. This would be a good indicator on how much Chinese companies relied on US frontier models to improve their own
Are they though? I see this as a precautious method by US to maintain AI model superiority so the Chinese companies cannot distill from the US frontier models. Let's see how fast Chinese models would improve without access to latest US models and if they keep on releasing open models
They do see the importance of AI superiority. The whole modern infrastructure as well as national security relies on AI superiority. Imagine a system smart enough to find vulnerabilities and get into any system that’s connected to internet. Which country wouldn’t want to have it
It doesn't matter how much more superior the US's models are if international companies are worried that the US government may cut off access arbitrarily and without warning.
US just needs their internationally usable model to be better than China's. If China catches up, US starts releasing more powerful models.

If US models cost 20x compared to China, they have to be at least 20x better.
Maybe, but the cheap models aren't the subject of the clamp-down here

Chinese tech has been on an exponential growth trajectory. If they see the need for AI superiority then there's really no moat for AI companies.
