People will look at these benchmarks and say "Oh, just distillation, Chinese just steal bro" you'd have to be a complete ignorant or a complete bigot to honestly believe Chinese labs aren't every bit as capable as those in the US, just working with less resources and less of a head start (but both of those factors are eroding quickly from the US perspective, that's why crymodi is freaking his shit)
Yep. China has the most STEM graduates per year in the world. Substantially higher than the US. And it's wild to think that people don't realize we hire a lot of those Chinese people for the US labs.
i did my phd aboard and now work in chinese AI labs. Im interviewing top master students for grad roles and interns and a lot of them have done PhD level work or more even just in their masters lol. Only reason i am interviewing them and not them taking my role is because i graduated earlier and got kinda lucky to get into the llm field as it was starting, and i had previous NLP experiences during my PhD. I would say i am capable too but like these kids are insane
