OpenAI's closed door boost to local LLM developers

China Daily  

OpenAI logo is seen near computer motherboard in this illustration taken Jan 8, 2024. Beginning Tuesday, US-based OpenAI will block application programming interface traffic from countries and regions that are not on its supported list, which, while posing a challenge to certain domestic artificial intelligence companies, might also push the latter to focus more on innovation. By doing so, OpenAI has actually exited the mainland market and given up the opportunity of training LLMs in the large market, giving domestic LLM companies an opportunity to accelerate their independent R&D and encourage more startups to opt for domestically produced LLMs. Its developed LLMs account for 36 percent of the global whole compared to the US' 44 percent, according to the Global Digital Economy White Paper 2024 released by the Global Digital Economy Conference on July 2. And despite the US leading in fundamental model research and development, China holds a strong position in the number of AI patents and the installation of industrial robots.
