#ChineseAImodels are gaining traction among US companies due to their competitive #performance and significantly #lowercosts compared to leading American rivals like #OpenAI and #Anthropic. The rise of #opensource and #openweight #AI from Chinese companies, such as #DeepSeek and #Zai, is particularly appealing as US #AIcosts soar. While still slightly behind top US models, Chinese options are closing the gap and offer a #costeffective alternative. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/07/chinese-ai-models-costs-us-openai-anthropic.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#Freedom and #Transparency ♻️ #Opensourcesoftware (#OSS) makes it possible to view, change and share code.

#Collaborative #Development 🤝 OSS thrives on #collaboration: #developers around the world contribute to improving #software, fixing bugs and ensuring ongoing #innovation.

#Costefficient and #Flexible 📈 Unlike commercial software, OSS is often #free to use and broadly #customisable, making it a super #costeffective solution.

The #Iranwar is highlighting the need for #costeffective #defencetechnology, particularly in countering low-cost drones like #Iran’s #Shahed. While the US has deployed its own low-cost drone, LUCAS, and companies like Anduril and Palantir are seeing increased demand, the production scale remains low. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/28/iran-war-defense-tech-drones-trump-hegseth.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#DeepSeek, a Chinese #AI #startup, published a paper proposing a #newmethod for #training #foundationalAImodels. The method, called Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (#mHC), aims to make model training more #costeffective and #scalable. https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3338427/deepseek-kicks-2026-paper-signalling-push-train-bigger-models-less?eicker.news #tech #media #news
