I'll ask you the same thing I asked the other guy. How is a an open weights model that I can run on my own hardware without an internet connection going to exfiltrate my trade secrets to the Chinese government?
replyIt's the same user and they already answered you: "If you read I’m talking about their service only models."
replyBut yes this is a non-sequitor. The original question was "What competitive advantage does OpenAI/Anthropic has when companies like Qwen/Minimax/etc are open sourcing models that shows similar (yet below than OpenAI/Anthropic) benchmark results?"
Even if you don't trust Chinese companies, and you want a hosted model, you can always pay a third party to host a Chinese open weight model. And it'll be a lot cheaper than OpenAI.
Chinese companies are built on IP theft, and Anthropic/Open AI are not?
replyAnd in world where code generation costs are trending to zero, goodluck commanding a premium to produce any kind of code.
There is a whole bunch of P99 code that is open-source. What makes code P99 is not the model that produces it, but the people who verify/validate/direct it.
