Only 2 Indians as I can see. Seems to undermine the thesis that we heard about the need to increase H1B immigrants from India to compete with China. Of course Zuck places two Zionists (one literal Israeli) at the top of the food chain. Tech is not apolitical!
The bamboo ceiling is alive and well. AI in the US is mostly being carried by Chinese people but they don't get the top jobs. Seems the only way is to create your own company á la Jensen Huang. xAI is the only AI lab in the US which has a Chinese leader as far as I know. Kudos to Elon. (I don't count the day-to-day leader as Elon, just as Sergey Brin isn't the day-to-day leader of Google DeepMind).
New Qwen came out. The long-context score seems mediocre. You can find it at the very end of the table.
The benchmarks their team put out appeared to suggest huge improvements, even over K2. But K2 does better on long-context here. As always, labs will cherry-pick benchmarks to make their models appear amazing (we saw this with Grok 4 also).
More exciting to me is that the Qwen team has promised big new updates "soon". Personally, I want to see a new version of Qwen Max. We need a big model again, especially as Kimi has set the bar with their 1T-sized K2 model.

Alibaba Cloud's Qwen models to be used on HP PCs, I assume just China for now.
Reality, in stark contrast to the dream:
Was wondering who wrote this piece of cringe fanfiction - turns out none of the authors listed seem to have any actual technical expertise or experience in researching or training LLMs. Just a bunch of "experts" specializing in "forecasting" and "governance research" lmfao.
ICBC will be using Alibaba Qwen-VL-Max multi-modal model for its image processing/OCR + reasoning capabilities
Probably needed to stay busy after getting fired from the State Department.
Qwen is on a roll. a lot of great models coming out recently. All SOTA.
I'm going to try this one out, most likely
