    Highly misleading. They finetuned an existing model using a different existing model in a process called distillation.

    The article is effectively saying “our model only cost $50 to make, plus whatever tens or hundreds of millions of dollars the models we stole from cost.”

      while absolutely true, the same can be said about my chinese nonsensename companys dehumidifier that I bought for 1/4 of the cost of an american brand name one

        That would only be a valid comparison if the american brand dehumidifier, as a complete product, was a part of the chinese one’s bill of materials. This is closer to the cartoon meme image where McGuyver builds a megaphone out of a squirrel, twigs, and a megaphone.

        It’s pretty much how the global economy has worked for a few decades, right? Advanced countries design, research and run things, developing countries build them.

        I’m not really sure what it has to do with OP, though.
