Those capabilities have put Z.ai's GLM-5.2 model ​at the heart of a growing debate about whether China is finally catching up to the U.S. in the AI race, as technology executives warn that Washington's unpredictable ⁠regulation of the industry risks hampering its lead in the frontier technology.

Much of the article has paragraphs dedicated to saying that AI needs to be even less regulated so that western corporates can have more profit.

lol, doesn't China have stricter regulations on AI than the US? IIRC, in China, companies can be held legally liable for the output of their LLMs.

US media takes it as a maxim that the corporate sector is always just another deregulation away from unleashing its true potential

Seems to me that US corporates are fucked at this point because Chinese open models are getting good enough. Relying on an American model is now a huge business risk that has to be priced in because the US can just turn it off at any moment. Meanwhile, with open models, even if China started restricting access for some reason, it's still possible for local providers in other countries to run them. On top of that, companies can run their own on prem versions without having to leak data to anybody and tune them to their needs. The only thing US companies had going for them was that their models were more capable, and now that's gone.

Destroy them, China

The hubris of the west will be it's downfall. Just another example of the west being unable to imagine China doing anything.

Yeah, China is at the cutting edge of many technological fields. In some areas its on par with the West, and in others it's already surpassed it.

it's really funny to watch this happen over and over in every tech sector too
