The Chinese have drug discovery completely locked and already did well before research cuts started under the current admin
It’s far more dire for pharma returns than anybody is willing to let on

Sorry guys but “i fing <3 science uwu” isn’t getting us anywhere, we’re rapidly industrializing space or we’re not going at all
Disassemble Mercury for Dyson swarm materials or go home

This is an immediate goal as we fix the heavy lift problem over the next decade fwiw

I think the assumption that AI will always mean something proprietary is shaping attitudes powerfully.
The corollary is: when we do get a competitive mass-market product that runs locally and can be customized, attitudes may shift to a degree that shocks those of us who already expected that. +

To solve this, the key resource threshold is to have multiple open labs with 10000+ GPUs each.
Multiple labs makes it so we are not beholden to big technology co's good graces to want to release models. These institutions increases innovation + derisks this crucial technology.

China's lead is also effecting R&D and those who build with open models. The US and EU used to share the lead, now China has a clear majority in the new finetunes uploaded to huggingface (about 40% come from Qwen models alone, the leading family today)

Crucially this "flip" on open model dominance is about more than adoption, its about performance as well. Chinese models have passed and extended their lead on American open counterparts in the last 12 months.
