- The Chinese ants group warns against false promises around open source AI
- NVIDIA, OPENAI and Google are criticized for their false efforts
- Open-source models could be the success of China
The Chinese Fintech giant and the Ant Operator Alipay group accused the American technology giants (such as Openai, Nvidia and Google) of using open-source tools to lock developers in their ia ecosystems with closed source.
For example, the NVIDIA dynamo (Open Source in March 2024) is marketed as the AI operating system, but it was specifically optimized for NVIDIA GPUs.
Ant Group also accused Openai and Google of publishing executives of aid agent at Open Source, but they were designed specifically for their owner models.
Open-Source AI is not really open-source
As advanced tool for multimodel high speed deployment, Dynamo will still encourage companies to choose Nvidia Material to maximize performance gains, ”noted the report (via SCCP).
Ant contrasts to American practices with those of Chinese companies – Alibaba Cloud and Bytedance have Open, their models, allowing developers to download and rely on them. This has not only led to a generalized adoption of Chinese models, but their adoption by American startups as well.
The group has also raised concerns about market share, Microsoft retaining a market share of 39% in foundation models and model management platforms, and Nvidia with a huge share of 92% of the GPU market market.
The report also revealed that more than half of the global contributions to Open Source ecosystems come from the United States (37.4%) and China (18.7%).
Open Source models allow researchers to study how they work, improve confidence and responsibility, but it also allows startups to experiment at a lower cost. However, they can also be used badly for harmful purposes, and they always need access to expensive GPUs.
While many American companies tend to keep their models with closed and open source the tools that surround them, such as tool channels and frames, China considers the opening of its models as a means of challenging American domination.
