As long as this debt does not make it into life insurance and pension funds, we are fine. The trouble is that private credit is taking control of some life insurance companies and off-loads this debt to these. When these fail, it will become everyone's problem.

Three things:

1. at least SpaceX is already in pension funds "thanks" to NASDAQ and MSCI relaxing their rules. Everyone who invests in NASDAQ or in MSCI World has SpaceX exposure, and assuming the bonanza lasts for 11 more months, so will everyone who invests into S&P 500. In addition NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon all have been in pretty much every investor's / pension fund depots. No matter what, everyone is going to get fucked when the party crashes, and it will make 2007 look harmless by comparison.

2. The debt of the AI companies is bad enough, but there's all the downstream credit as well, chiefly construction companies and public utilities that are undertaking absurd amounts of buildout. When the party crashes and the demand stops, there will be a lot of construction companies and possibly even a few large utility companies that will be unable to service their debt (because no datacenter means no income) or have to hike rates even more than they already are.

3. All this debt and speculation unwinding will cause an economic downturn. Most of Europe already is in or near recession territory, and the US would be in a recession if it weren't for the wash trading and circular investments artificially propping up the GDP. But unfortunately, with the exception of infamously austere Germany, everyone else has already fired all the guns during 2007ff and Covid, and all the ZIRP money never got slowly deflated out of the market, which means this time there will be no government help possible, it will be a hard crash. No way out of that one.

I'm not even sure what the argument for banning Chinese models/open weights even is supposed to be?

1. if it's to stop hackers doing hacking things with "uncontrollable models" then, well… they're already doing something illegal to begin with, why would they care about breaking another law running these models?

2. if it's to stop foreign actors, then that ban would not apply to them anyway

3. it's not stopping distillation either, Chinese labs are already banned from using US frontier models and look at how good that is working

I don't get it. Am I missing something? The only thing a ban would do is protect the American market from further downward price pressure on inference, protecting VC investors in the short term. But thats also an admittance that the American labs can't compete on merit anymore, and should by itself also limit the viability of the idea that all those VC billions will ever make a return? In any case this would be something benefitting only a very few for a short time (labs + investors).

Someone please enlighten me what the actual argument here is, cause I can't see it.

This is a silly argument. Like yes, obviously it's of less U.S. concern if one American is robbing another versus a foreign interest. We can deal with one whenever while the other creates constraints.

What we call "guardrails" in an AI agent, we would refer to as "honor system" in human actors.

i've always been under the assumption that "AI Safety" is baked into the training of the models and not a parameter that can be turned up or down. So if someone breaks into Anthropic one night and makes a full copy of Mythos or whatever then that model they copied is fully capable and not lobotomized? That raises questions because, if you believe all the PR, that's equivalent to breaking into a research university and stealing an entire bio/chem weapons research department.

I'm in a bubble so I may not see the big picture, but I feel like these guys are completely destroying any kind of credibility they had.

Anthropic especially has this arrogant, "we're smarter than you", communication style, and acts like they're serving some higher purpose (to the point of absurdity in some cases like "model welfare") - I think part of all this might be the EA roots but I'm not sure. But then they get a little competition and suddenly they're a little tattle-tale running to the government looking to artificially preserve their advantage. I've seen nobody who doesn't see the naked self interest. There's no mission, not higher purpose, not even competitive spirit, just some people that were on top and can't handle the idea that they weren't as special as they thought. It's going to bite them in the long run, we'll probably get some politically motivated legislation, but the cats out of the bag, they've lost all credibility and don't even have a uniquely competitive model anymore, they'll end up as just another also-ran.

Meanwhile, a study (late 2025) seems to report that although participating developers felt they completed tasks faster using AI, they where around 19% slower.

METR reran the study early this year and, while they caveat it, this time they found a speedup, which is consistent with subjective estimates of productivity also having increased -- the simplest explanation is that subjective estimates exaggerate, but there's still a speedup with current models: https://metr.org/blog/2026-02-24-uplift-update/#wider-adoption-of-ai-has-made-it-more-difficult-to-measure-task-level-productivity

I think there's a simple dichotomy based on use cases. For things you're already highly skilled at LLMs can be handy but the overall gains, after all is accounted for, are not so clear. But for things you aren't good at, they're zomg amazing. So for somebody evaluating things based on what they do at work (where they're probably quite competent) or on personal projects well within their own domain, then it's 'hey what's all the hype about?' But if you're doing things outside your domain then it's a revolutionary game-changer.

This also explains why an independent dev can proclaim a 10x productivity boost or whatever, and actually seem to be showing that - while major companies dumping obscene amounts of $$$ on tokens don't seem to be have much to show for it.

There's a lot of different and overlapping programs in play here. I do not believe that autonomous F-16s are intended to be operational assets. That said...

VENOM - program that shows you can bolt on autonomous flight control into a standard F-16. Previously, the X-62A (a one-off prototype based F-16) demonstrated autonomous dogfighting back in 2023.

VENOM provides USAF/DARPA with a lot of high performance autonomous platforms (bolt-on F-16s) that they can then use to develop and validate software, tactics and training for actually fighting with autonomous systems. This would presumably be critical for getting the most of the CCA (aka loyal wingman) programs currently in development.

The AIR program referenced is basically "how do we get autonomous systems to control and fight effectively as a team (presumably arbitrary mixture of manned and unmanned systems) in a beyond visual range fight".

The ACE program referenced was basically "how do we get autonomous platforms to dogfight" with related questions like "how can we augment the human pilot in a dogfight - ie, how can we hand off the actual flying and execution of manoeuvres, and using all of the sensors to autonomous systems, and let the pilot choose actions, instead of hang flying the actions".

Much of the angst around China's models centers on "losing the AI race". But what's the goal of this race? Is it to develop the best model? To sell the most tokens? To destroy humanity first?

Some people would say it is reaching some sort of singularity. Even if you don't buy into a more sci-fi interpretation of this, there are pretty grounded arguments one could make that there is some sort of "goal" in AI development that, if realized, would effectively make it a superweapon. Altman has been pretty vocal about his expectation that this will eventually happen and that it is his goal to be the guy to produce it. Even if it isn't some superintelligence, the ability for a machine to do something like, say, exploit cybersecurity weaknesses, is pretty worrying for entities like governments. It's the pretense used when we saw the US government ban a US model recently.

Again, you don't have to buy that "the singularity" is a real thing, but it's not hard to see that some people think some version of this is real and it is exactly what is being referred to as the goal in an "AI race."

The usa can make whatever law they want and idk why they bother with propaganda really, people will accept it and do nothing anyways.

But lets be real, distillation can be better than base, cause it is getting the best of what it gives if done correctly, just like z imsge base and z image turbo.

Altho im not saying it is distilled, in that short time u cant do any meaningful distillation that will change how a 2.8T model works. If it was 200B then maybe

u/amejin (24 points · permalink)

Why do you assert a distillation could never outperform the original?

RL by leaning weights towards a desired response does not change underlying initial training data... I'm not sure your claim is as accurate as you assert.

u/Uninterested_Viewer (19 points · permalink)

Is the argument that "Kimi didn't use distillation of western models at all" or "Kimi did use distillation, but that's fair game"?

I thought the former was pretty well accepted on reddit as there is data showing how close outputs are to Anthropic models that would make no statistical sense if some distillation didn't happen. Distillation does not mean Kimi is a full on ripoff of another model: there are many ways and timings to use "distillation" on top of traditional training techniques to improve a model.. a benchmark showing Kimi outperforming a model doesn't preclude it from having used that model in some form of distillation.

Finally, this is a blind human benchmark that ranks human preference and is a terrible example to use if you're trying to argue that Kimi is a more intelligent model.

u/Etroarl55 (18 points · permalink)

If China truly on this open source crusade for AI, I don't see how American AI can genuinely keep up.

American AI companies operate purely off profits;

They will either come together and ban Chinese models effectively as there's no real way to tariff Chinese AI.

Or somehow OpenAI and anthro pic have to come up with something so advanced it will take China a year or more to catch up Everytime.

u/zxyzyxz (156 points · permalink)

u/Jay299792458 (105 points · permalink)

Beyond just government subsidies and controls, there's a fundamental difference in culture: China's AI ecosystem thrives on open-weight sharing, while top US labs opt for closed-source isolation.

Because of chip sanctions, Chinese labs (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM) had no choice but to share research, weights, and optimization techniques to survive together.

Meanwhile, US giants are locked in a race to build proprietary walled gardens. By pushing for heavy regulations and hiding everything behind APIs, US companies are ironically forcing the global dev community straight into China's open-source arms.

• The post frames the choice as a boycott of big cloud providers in favor of open-weight alternatives, with one commenter noting Kimi has a waitlist due to compute constraints.
• Discussion revealed tension between the ideal of local LLMs and the reality that even open-weight models at frontier scale often require cloud access, making the distinction between open-weight and closed less clear for many users.

Not sure the goal of this post. The sentiment might be in the right place. However a subreddit like this is an echo chamber. Everyone myself included will agree with you.

• The model claims to reduce necessary tokens by more than 90% compared to the original Qwen3.6 27B, which would make it feel significantly faster on constrained hardware.

• A GGUF version was quickly released on HuggingFace, and the community responded with humor and experimentation.
• One commenter noted that SFT-based finetuning of an already well-tuned model like Qwen3.6 is unlikely to improve it, as improvements typically require complex RL finetuning.

u/SnooPaintings8639 (57 points · permalink)

The GGUF is here: https://huggingface.co/ProCreations/grug-27b-gguf

I've just started downloading. I have positive opinion on the caveman approach in general, so hopes are high.

edit: First few attempts are not great. It does talk caveman like BUT it is also thinking caveman like. The pure Qwen thinks through everything for hard task, the Grug one barely puts any though. So multi paragraph multi-angle reasoning is being collapsed into single semi-sentence with just few single wrods. I does not look efficient but lazy.

u/Kamimashita (19 points · permalink)

Yeah that's about what I expected. These sort of finetuned models always make big claims but its always due to intense benchmaxxing. Any sort of SFT based finetuning is always gonna degrade an already well tuned model like Qwen3.6. The only way it can possibly be improved is through RL finetuning which is slow and complex.
