It’s called “off-site training”??

And somehow, despite every single trade restriction, multiple random startup companies in China (that don't even know how to secure their own databases) manage to make LLMs that outperform it.
I'm not saying that because Chinese companies are uniquely cool. I'm saying that because this whole AI thing is uniquely stupid.

But it doesn't bode too well for OpenAIs current level given how much funding and talent they presumably have.
