“These days, when entrepreneurs pitch at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), a major Silicon Valley venture-capital firm, there’s a high chance their startups are running on Chinese models. “I’d say there’s an 80% chance they’re using a Chinese open-source model,” notes Martin Casado, a partner at a16z.”
If the AI bubble is going to burst, you’ve got to wonder how many of today’s AI stars like OpenAI will survive it. Are they already yesterday’s people, and the future is leaner, cheaper, and built on free open-source AI? If 80% of new American start-ups are choosing Chinese open-source, you can bet that figure rises to near 100% for the rest of the world.
Silicon Valley thought they were soon going to get an AI unicorn, another world-conquering Google or Meta. Maybe, one day. For now, it looks like Chinese Open-Source AI may be the model about to spread all over the world.
It amazes me how their BS on ‘innovation’ has infected broader culture and politics.
Look how little fundamental innovation there is in health, education and housing. All getting more expensive and out of reach.
