@signulll Pink Floyd fan too.. but he was forced to leave.
imagine focusing on distillation. distillation purely a tactical surface. the higher order failure is that america subsidizes the education, network formation, & research maturation of elite technical talent, then makes permanent belonging uncertain enough that competitors inherit the finished product. i can’t believe we’re obsessing over whether they copied yesterday’s model while voluntarily exporting the people capable of building tomorrow’s. ridiculous.
@signulll Because when you’re Chinese and graduate from CMU, you’re not comparing China vs America, you’re comparing China vs Pittsburgh.
you’re telling me we could have had Kimi in america?! how did we fumble this
Congratulations to Zhilin Yang, founder and CEO of @Kimi_Moonshot, on the latest Kimi release. What a huge win for the open-source community! It feels like just yesterday Zhilin was graduating from my lab at CMU, jointly co-advised with William Cohen. Not only did he complete his Ph.D. in just four years, but he also made truly fundamental contributions to ML during his time at CMU. What a spectacular career! Congrats again Zhilin, and thank you and the entire Kimi team for everything you're doing for the open-source community.
@paularambles our visa system sucks balls, he should’ve started a company here.
Right question
kimi’s founder & ceo got his phd at cmu. why didn’t he stay in america?!
