The biggest revelation from Deepseek is that Open Source has won. For a 1% difference in performance, it will be difficult for OpenAI to justify its price when the competition is free and formidable. -from my interview with Bloomberg

- In my book AI Superpowers, I predicted that US will lead breakthroughs, but China will be better and faster in engineering. Many people simplified that to be “China will beat US”. And many claimed I was wrong with GenAI. With the recent Deepseek releases, I feel vindicated.
- Ban an open source model ???OpenAI calls DeepSeek state-controlled and wants to ban the model. I see no reason to love this company anymore, pathetic. OpenAI themselves are heavily involved with the US govt but they have an issue with DeepSeek. Hypocrites. What's your thoughts??
- Thanks to @huggingface speedy response and trusted brand, we were able to take our 34B model public rapidly, credibly, and impactfully! 🤝
- 01.AI is a bold but long-awaited endeavor for my pursuit of AI over 4 decades. Proud to introduce the world's top open-source model Yi-34B as our first release to the developers' community encouraging fantastic LLM projects with a moderate-size, high-performingVenture capitalist and author Kai-Fu Lee has built an AI startup in China that's worth $1 billion after less than eighth months trib.al/Hs4iKAi
- I applaud the original openness of OpenAI, and agree with @elonmusk 's lament. But @elonmusk : When will Grok become open source like @01AI_Yi ? Please come join the @huggingface leaderboard.Replying to @GRDecterOpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all.
- Thank you for the post. But actually we hope to be the "more open" answer to "Open"AI. It's not US vs. China; it's open vs. closed.Replying to @rowancheungKai-Fu Lee's Chinese company, 01 AI just revealed an open-source LLM. The model, Yi-34B, aims to be China’s answer to ChatGPT. Valued at $1B, 01 AI has moved fast to amass talent and GPUs in wake of U.S. chip sanctions. x.com/01AI_Yi/status…
- 01.ai trained the #6 model in the world for $3M pre-train cost. And the inference price is $0.14/million tokens! tomshardware.com/tech-industry/…
- A.I. will technically be able to do all the routine parts of our work in the next 15 years. There will be new jobs available, but they will not be routine jobs. So having training programs is of paramount importance.Will machines that learn be taking over the workplace any time soon? According to artificial intelligence venture capitalist Kai-Fu Lee, not exactly. But in 15-20 years, 40% of our jobs will be “displaceable.” Scott Pelley reports, tonight. cbsn.ws/2RrZFd9

- 有人說：高考是人生的轉折點。我把這句話改爲：高考只是人生表面上的轉折點。真正轉折點應該是你每一天每一個小時都在積累的東西，希望各位同學儘自己的努力去做，大學文憑對一個人的未來確實有很大的幫助，但是也不是隻有大學畢業才能夠成功。
- I must say China is now behind the U.S. in the LLM ecosystem momentum. The underlying vision for me to start @01AI_Yi is to make better AI accessible to more people. We are glad our first moderate-size Yi-34B performs competitively at a global level. More to come soon after
