Is it open source? Has anyone compared it fairly? Did china steal the teach and this got a cost advantage? Is it even true?

 It is, allegedly, open source.

Interesting! Then we will have the answers to a lot of questions in time. Note
also how china is trying to stunt the growth of US AI companies to stop them
from becoming too powerful.

So many questions!

I guess they benefited by being late to the game, and could discard ways and
methods that were choosen in the US?

Regardless, readers of this newsgroup will not surprised when the AI bubble bursts.

 "AI" investment/expectations are decidedly a "bubble"

 so to speak.

This is the truth! The AI hype drives technologies, which after the boom, find
their right uses. Image recognition, voice recognition, expert systems, genetic
algorithms for medical research... all common and based on the fallout from AI
hypes I'm sure. The game changer this time, or at least one of them, is the open
sourceing of the models, which enables people like you and me to play around
with them.
