    The US: Let’s put tech sanctions on a country with extremely well funded education, while we go out of our way to cut our education. Surely that’s a recipe for our own success!

      lmao, us repeated so much their racists lies that they started believing in them, and this is what is behind the chip sanction.

      we all heard time and time again that china don’t develop stuff on their own so they copy and steal “superior” western tech. i think you can make up the rest

    Not only this, they secured a future for Chinese GPU manufacturing like Moore Threads by substantially decreasing the target they have to reach to be competitive with the graphics mafia at Nvidia. Specialized AI chips are a lot simpler than a full GPU with full CUDA compatibility. All you need is compatibility with PyTorch which is fully open source, and a GPU that does matrix multiplication well possibly with low precision support for inference. If precision flexibility features are too hard you can make specialized chips for training and specialized chips for inference. USA really shot its own companies in the foot with this one.

      For sure, it’s always easier to make specialized chips for a specific use case than general purpose ones. And once you have that nailed down, you can expand functionality from there as you go. The whole idea that US could just freeze China out of chip development has always been so obviously absurd, it’s frankly shocking to me that anybody thought it could work.
