NOTES FROM INSIDE CHINA'S AI LABS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Chinese and American labs look similar when you look at their outputs and ingredients, but there are major differences in how they are organized and conditioned. Chinese scientists are much more willing to do non-flashy work to improve a model rather than push their own ideas. This results in less gamification of the system and more flexibility in adapting modern techniques. The Chinese AI community feels more like an ecosystem than battling tribes, with all the labs having nothing but respect for their peers. They are also much less focused on the business side of the technology.
