Author pushes back on the idea that open-weights dominance would mean AI collapse, arguing compute remains the barrier and compute providers would capture value instead of labs if they lost.

I am confused about the belief that if open weights eventually dominate it will lead to the collapse of AI. If the Labs lose (which is not happening now), it isn’t because AI was useless: compute is still the barrier & it means that compute providers will capture the value created rather than Labs.

Researcher notes that Kimi K3, when asked in Chinese to select non-cliched poems for LLMs, produced chain-of-thought mostly in English despite the Chinese context, finding the language mismatch surprising.

Interestingly, when I made a request in Chinese for Kimi K3 to pick two non-cliched poems that apply to LLMs, 95.5% of the characters (88% of the words) in the chain-of-thought were in English, even when it was explicitly considering Chinese poems for a Chinese reader. I wasn't expecting that!
