Anthropic's "durable advantage" theory of US AI dominance is looking pretty silly. There's zero indication that it will be hard for China to keep pace as models improve and start contributing to their own training. Which pretty much invalidates their policy recommendations.

They can't even blame it on distillation this time, unless they want to claim that their own preferred security measures were ineffective in preventing Chinese access to Mythos.

I remember that more than a year ago, when Anthropic and OpenAI started to hide reasoning steps, some were claiming that Chinese models were done, as they could only distill those US models.

I am very curious for the next batch of Chinese models. I have been using DeepSeek and it is nothing short of excellent.

Likely won't improve much. They trained on every text already.
