A.I. : 

''' WE'RE OPEN COME '''

OPEN-WEIGHT MODELS HAVE BEEN - the underlying strength of Chinese artificial intelligence strategy. America should take cues. The Chinese government has spent three years giving away its most capable A.I. to anyone to use.

An A.I. model's ''weights'' are the billions of individual settings acquired and fine-tuned during training that help determine how a model responds to prompts.

When a company keeps its weights secret, as OpenAI does with GPT, other companies and developers can rent access through its servers but they cannot look inside or take the model with them.

When a company publishes these weights, as the Chinese company DeepSeek has for its A.I. model, any user can download and run the weights on its own hardware, inspect them and retrain them for a specialized task.

This is how China is arguably winning the A.I. race. Last week, the Chinese start-up Moonshot A.I. unveiled Kimi K3, which the company says is the world's largest open-weight A.I. model and rivals the performance of Anthropic and OpenAI's best models to date.

Alibaba's Qwen is now the most downloaded A.I. model family on earth. Developers have used it to build more than 100,000 specialized models of their own.

On OpenRouter, a service that lets developers send their work to whichever A.I. model they choose, Chinese open-weight models accounted for more than 20 percent of the units of texts processed over a number of weeks in 2023 and more than 40 percent over a few weeks this spring; in 2024 such models' weekly processing of text was as low as about 1 percent.

Much of that traffic is American Airbnb's customer service agent runs substantially on Qwen; Airbnb's chief executive, Brian Chesky, has called the model fast and cheap.

Cursor, among the most valuable A.I. coding start-ups in the country, built its Composer 2 model on a base licensed from Moonshot. DoorDash now routes the '' lower level work '' of its code review system to Kimi, DoorDash's co-founder Andy Fang reports, reserving an American model for the hardest tasks.

More American businesses, attracted by lower costs, are joining these start-ups in using these models.

This had been China's plan since 2017 : push Chinese models into every market, shape the standards others adopt, and pull the world toward Chinese hardware the models run best on.

The Chinese labs restrict access now, won't everyone just switch to a better American model? No, because switching an A.I. model is not like cancelling a subscription. It means tearing out a foundation.

A European manufacturer running a Chinese model on its own premises, trained on confidential records that cannot legally leave the building, cannot simply swap in a superior American model that costs more to use and runs on someone else's servers.

That dependence is key to Chinese strategy. A country that can't switch off a foreign model has handed China a grip on the system it runs on.

Developers outside China should be concerned about what's next. Everyone building on a Chinese model assumes a better one is coming - free, as it always has been.
