That problem is smooth.

And if it's not, it is differentiable everywhere.

And if it's not, we avoid the kinks almost surely.

And if we don't, what is computed is a subgradient.

And if it's not, it approximates one.

And if that's not true, who cares? The loss went down.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
