Ironically, our administration pushing for ban of the AI chips to China is forcing them to make smaller and more efficient models which seems like a requirement for running on Chinese chips. I wouldn’t be surprised this model was tailored to run purely on Chinese chips. Same thing with Deepseek MLA, the drastically lower KV cache memory requirement was born out of necessity so it runs on the Huawei chips.
This is exactly what Jenson said in all of his interviews. Banning it in the short term would have long term consequences.
