Simple. If everybody stinks, nobody is stinking.

If you cannot wipe efficiently, you better make sure nobody else can too so that no-one can call you out on that.

But so far as we can tell, American proprietary models are more compute efficient than open models? They're also practically cheaper, if you factor subscriptions into account. Does that mean we should be decrying all the GPUs used for GLM, when they can be put to better use for claude or chatgpt models?

That wasn't my personal opinion, just guessing the mindset behind those who want to prevent competition.

Funny enough that seems to be the exact stance of OpenAI/sama.
