I’ve been recoiling in horror when the western LLM-powered Panopticon bros name their bullshit Palantir and Anduril. Stop appropriating my special interest into your fascist police-state. Anyway, glad to hear China keeps closing the gap
I had to look it up, but apparently the H200 is Nvidia’s cutting edge GPU for data centers. So this accomplishment will likely be the inflection point when China starts to pull ahead even in GPUs.
H200 is a really fast card, you can see how well it runs Qwen 3.8 here for example https://llmspeed.dev/ if they can make a comparable card that’s affordable that would be a game changer for running local models.
Question: I thought that even if China began producing super powerful GPUs and sold them for cheap, there would be such tariffs from the west that the price would skyrocket anyway, letting the GPU monopolies keep their place. Would that not be the case?
It’s still a great news for China, not being dependent on American companies is great of course, but it would be awesome to get state of the art Chinese GPUs at a good price in the future 😽
The US will almost certainly tariff these, but other western countries might be more relaxed about it since they don’t compete in this space at all. Both Europe and Canada are trying to improve relations with China since they need it for their economies to function, and even US pressure might not be enough to counter that.
