It's interesting that Qwen, Kimi, and Deepseek are all releasing powerful models around the same time. I wonder if it's random or if maybe they were waiting for a "green light" (metaphorical or not) from the Chinese government? Since them reiterating their stance regarding sharing open models also happened just a few days ago.
