The combination of a wide range of model sizes and capabilities, with good engineering choices as which to use for what applications, that is the way.
A competitor can simply accuse you of using a chinese model and throw you completely off rails with an investigation. Or when the government can't get a valid search warrant for a separate crime, they can get you on suspicion if using a chinese model.
Not sure why this is even news.
The man in charge literally hates intellects.
Hell, he put RFK junior in charge of healthcare and he’s just completely anti science in favor of his various lunacies.
If you have opinions on these topics and need evidence spoon fed to you after the past year and a half activity then I assume you’re commenting in bad faith and just here to back up your king.
Trump has been openly anti-education since the 1990s. My favorite Trump quote: “I love the poorly educated.”

It is also impossible for China to have accessed the hundreds or thousands of terabytes of data that must have been hoarded by OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, so the Chinese must have gathered training data sets by themselves, by crawling the Internet and using pirate libraries, the same like Anthropic and OpenAI.
If the American allegations were true, then some Chinese companies might have extracted some blackbox data about the American models, by API querying, in an amount small enough that it could be used only for the post-training of a model created independently.
Such an information extraction is a breach of contract, but it cannot be called "copying", because it can be only an infinitesimal fraction of the information stored in a SOTA LLM.
Yes, but WHY, I wonder.
Seems like a business opportunity.
Apertus and Soofi, both open source (not only open weight) models:

Most of the proxies are built in/drop-down options but you can add any custom proxy too.
