Non-US models are trained (and run) on peanuts compared to big US models, because they don't have mega GPU farms and have no other option. Deepseek in particular went all-in on software architecture efficiency. ...Ironically, the Nvidia GPU embargo was the best thing that ever happened to the Chinese devs. It made them thrifty. Many tried to warn US regulators of this, but they had AI Bros whispering in their ears. The US tech system is just too screwed up, I guess. permalink fedilink source parent
