you don't appreciate enough how good the China AI bros are you think you do, but you don't. the disadvantage of their startups is absurd. Real "one swordsman against an army" anime stuff. It's not about the ≈1 OOM gap in pretraining compute …Google should just sudoku in shame
Make no mistake, what the GLM team has pulled off is *heroic*. They are the largest Chinese LLM startup, they have the academic chops, state favor etc, but Mistral is the same and could get all the GPUs it needed. It did not. They're better than the entire continent of Europe.
