very few people comprehend - how much of an asteroid level event for western AI labs this is.

china has cheap abundant power, now they can make their own inference chips (which was supposed to be a chokepoint), their models yeah can be 6 months behind the frontier - but most people don't need frontier models - small models r more than enough.

my only wish was labs like Mistral would make their own inference chips or partner up eg with established / new chip makers or companies like Oxide.
