alt Hacker NewsWell props to them for continuing to improve, winning on cost-effectiveness, and continuing to publicly share their improvements. Hard not to root for them as a force to prevent an AI corporate monopoly/duopoly.

As much I agree with your sentiment, but I doubt the intention is singular.
I suspect they will keep doing this until they have a substantially better model than the competition. Sharing methods to look good & allow the field to help you keep up with the big guys is easy. I'll be impressed if they keep publishing even when they do beat the big guys soundly.
>winning on cost-effectiveness
Nobody is winning in this area until these things run in full on single graphics cards. Which is sufficient compute to run even most of the complex tasks.
To push back on naivety I'm sensing here I think it's a little silly to see Chinese Communist Party backed enterprise as somehow magnanimous and without ulterior, very harmful motive.
If you value life in the West, you should not be rooting for a Communist model or probably any state-backed model https://venturebeat.com/security/deepseek-injects-50-more-se...
How could we judge if anyone is "winning" on cost-effectiveness, when we don't know what everyones profits/losses are?
