I know we have strong views on what a truly open model is (open weights, open training data, open training code etc.) but I really like how transparent they’ve been about the training of this model.
The realtime dashboard they shared during training (<a href="https://mimo.xiaomi.com/rl/" rel="nofollow">https://mimo.xiaomi.com/rl/) was an incredible learning and teaching tool for me, and they’ve been unusually comprehensive in sharing details about their methodology (check out that tech report - it's got lots of clever behind the scene tricks like Google or Deepseek writeups) and benchmark scores (even the stuff they didn’t do well on).
If you’re releasing an open model going forward, please consider offering the community more of this transparency!
maybe this is why Dario want to slow down AI development and all the big AI labs in the USA is singing the same song.
whey they all singing the same tune. it make me question what is their real motives.
they are afraid of Chinese good enough LLM model killing their margin. we already have story about US companies switch some task to use cheaper Chinese model hosted on Neoclouds.
This is definitely part of it. I think the reports/PR over the past month ended up being a serious unforced error.
Chinese models are increasingly closer to the frontier, while being able to run on much cheaper hardware than what US frontier models run on.
On top of that, both Anthropic and OpenAI showed that they can't really be trusted on data security.
Even if US companies can be forced to not use Chinese models, the rest of the world is going to see the risks and the availability of good enough open weight models for their purposes and be more likely to lean in favor of self-hosted Chinese models or local inference clouds.
> and the availability of good enough open weight models for their purposes
it is childish to believe Chinese are going to give up profits to provide such open weight models forever. the whole idea of being "open" is not compatible with the Chinese culture.
This almost racist read of other cultures has always seemed so bizarre to me. Even moreso when said as an argument on the side of completely closed competitors, some of which are outright seeking to ban open weights.
Chinese companies will continue to provide open weight models as long as it is profitable to do so. Chinese companies are on the more open end in many other industries despite the lack of meaningful foreign competition (for one, 3d printing) so there's plenty of reason to be optimistic as far as I'm concerned.
