Skimming through it I was confused.

- No homegrown semiconductor industry: isn’t the recent hand-wringing over the new Huawei chips proof of the opposite?

- No interest in training LLMs? Is that true? I thought Baidu was already on it?

In fact at every major AI conferences, Chinese R&D groups like Baidu and Ant group are major participants (and sponsors). I am talking about conferences like NeurIPS and AAAI, which both happened in the past few months.

EDIT: the comments of that article are also confused by that article, lol. Is there a joke that is going over our collective heads?
