Within weeks, the market is flooded with Chinese LLMs - either free to use, or significantly cheaper than known LLMs.
They are flooding the market faster than countries can ban them. Deepseek, in a predictable move, has upped its prices.I am wondering:
A. HOW are so many LLMs ready for commercial release within such a short time?
B. WHY are so many LLMs flooding the market?
Any thoughts?
Update:
So, I did some digging and found out some very important things.
1. China has as many as 130+ approved LLMs. Unlike the US, in China, every LLM has to be approved by the government before it is available for public use.
2. 600 million people use these LLMs.
3. Chinese companies support each other. They embed each other's solutions.
4. China unveiled an AI policy in 2017. It invested in policy making, chip manufacturing, and skill building, consistently from then. All 3 were being done.
