"... China now restricting access to certain open source models."

#MaximilianNegele, 2026

If all the points in the OSD (Open Source Definition) are being followed, access can't be restricted. So if it can be restricted, it's not Open Source, by definition.

At least, that was the case, until Stefano Maffulli, as director of OSI, led the charge on drafting a new definition for "Open Source AI", by watering down the OSD until some MOLE training fit into it. *sigh*

RT @jun_song: Das neue DeepSeek ist noch verrückter als erwartet. Mit nur 284 Milliarden Parametern schlägt es GLM 5.2 und liegt fast so nah an Opus 4.8 wie möglich. Und das alles bei nur einem Zehntel der Größe und fast 100-mal günstiger. Ich wusste, dass Innovation naht, aber ich hätte nicht erwartet, dass sie so stark zuschlägt. Pro wird Fable und Sol definitiv vernichten.
