Right as open source models catch up to frontier closed source ones for 1/10th (or less) of the cost suddenly it's time to hit the brakes! Funny how that works.

I'm willing to at least listen to conspiracy theories but this makes no sense.. OpenAI and Anthropic have more to lose by pausing than these rando Chinese companies.

		They would only be pausing for public models. There's no world that exists where the US government, Israel.. don't continue to push as hard and as fast as they can. Amodei, Musk, Altman... will happily sell them that, I'm sure they already do. This is just taking the models away from the public and trying to crush all competition.

		Here's how it make senses: - reality they can't keep up their pace - that's bad for forward projections of their revenue - that's bad for their stock price - being 'forced' to slowdown by the government is less bad for their stock price
