We'll have to wait a bit to see how this develops. There's an absolute panic in the market right now, but we'll see if people calm down in a few days. I think the key question is going to be around the demand for Nvidia chips going forward.
I wrote some thoughts on this here https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6841053
I think the big question is whether people find new uses for all these Nvidia chips or not. Maybe crypto will flare up again or something new comes along. It does look like AI as a vehicle for chip demand is dead now though.
Nice, at the end of the day if the code does what you need it to that's a win.
And it gets funnier by the day as it becomes increasingly clear that China is moving ahead of the west technologically.
I haven't tried it for coding yet. I've had pretty mixed experience with models in this regard, so I mostly don't tend to bother. The most I do is try to get them to generate sql queries.
I think it's mostly just good old racism. They really thought that Chinese were simply intellectually inferior to them and could never develop comparable tech on their own.
It's basically the only cope they have since it's open source, but I suspect most people just don't care.
Russians do have similar systems as well as small portable versions that soldiers can carry in a backpack.
I got the deepseek-r1:14b-qwen-distill-fp16 version running with 32gb ram and a GPU here.
