Open weight models will keep pace because capable open-weight models are China's strategy for preventing a closed takeover of AI by the West.

US megatechs stole copyrighted data to train their. Hyper expensive models.
Chinese megatechs stole copyrighted data AND trained their models on derivative / synthetic data that came from the US foundation models.
I’m happy Chinese foundation model trainers were able to use Huawei (homegrown) hardware to train their models (also because having Nvidia dominate that sector is terrible for competition), but if Chinese megatech companies are just deriving their open weights models from US companies, then this is just an IP theft exercise.
