US has been trying hard to handicap China with so many rounds of sanctions to stop China from moving forward. I think it has created a short term road block for China. But over the longer term, it is actually helping China become more competitive as it created a huge gap for Chinese companies to fill. This will also resulted in alot more experts in the area. When we talk about AI, we often think of Chips and LLMs, but China has doing some amazing work with applying AI to smart machines that we consumers wants to buy. China has been in the forefront in Consumer robotics, smart drones, 3d printing and EVs were execution, integration and mass production are way more important than 7nm vs 3nm in niche machines.

It's easy to tell. If Chinese AI companies can not compete, US wouldn't ban chips for AI.

It will be very difficult to fight American propaganda. USA does the best propaganda.

49 % of the AI graduates are in China, 40% of AI graduates in the US are Chinese.
Country of origin of AI researchers in Globally, actual numbers: China 47%, US 18%, Europe 12%, India 5%. Country of origin of AI researchers in the US, actual numbers: China 38%, US 37%, Europe 6%, India 7%, Canada 2% and others 10%. Amount the top 2% AI expert in USA, 60% are Chinese.
Chinese STEM grads 10x more than US, or 5x of US and Europe. Chinese engineer dividend has just begun.

Compared with the computer cluster composed of NVIDIA B200, the computer cluster composed of Huawei Ascend 920 saves more electricity at the same computility, and it is more computility than NVIDIA at the same power consumption. Obviously, the price-performance ratio of Ascend 920 is higher and the actual calculation cost is lower.

Compete with the Chinese in terms of intelligence and diligence? America will definitely lose!

The U.S. thinks 'Competition' is another word for 'War'.

One thing China is not good at... Story Telling.

[steventee]

The question should Can US AI technology compete with China ?

[revilooliver]

Do not forget! Kaifu Lee is the inventor of Apple Siri

[lionvictor]

Not about China competing or catching up with anyone. Its about fulfilling chinas and global needs.

[tompell]

Can they? Are you kidding me? They have the most engineering talents in the world. They graduate more engineers each year. We don't need these so called "experts" to tell us the obvious answer to that.

[minervasheryl]

Give it a rest. The US cannot even compete with Tik Tok's algorithm. Forget AI.

China: a strong gov supports Companies. US: Companies supports a weak gov.

[brianliew]

This is not an exaggeration. Regarding the tech war between China and the US, it's not hard to see China will win this one fairly easily despite one hand being tied behind its back.

This guy started his company one year ago; that was enough time to debut a LLM. In most countries, even building an office building takes longer than that.

[BrandyHeng]

China never run away from level field competitions.

[janicetone]

Dr. K.F. Lee is a legend. I have followed his long, inspirational, uplifting life story for decades. It would be very informative for the "western media" to hear from Dr. Lee more often.

[yojimbo]

I still remember AI used to be called Machine Learning (ML) just 5-6 years ago. How fast the industry pivots.

[GeoffHalsey]

Although the 'Large Language Model' (LLM) is the currently the most popular approach to A.I, there are other methods. In my opinion, Numenta's 'Thousand Brains Theory' (TBT) aims to mimic human brains, has produced the 'Platform for Intelligent Computing' (NuPIC). A model that is efficient, scalable and works in combination with LLM, but doesn't require GPUs.

[kmich]

To be frank, USA may soon be not the one to beat, China may find it has to beat itself. 😊

[johnwhoo]

more efficiency， better algorism design， willing be better than more and more hardware， more and more hardware will have a dead end.
