Big day for open source Chinese model releases - DeepSeek-v3-0324 came out today too, an updated version of DeepSeek v3 now under an MIT license (previously it was a custom DeepSeek license). https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/24/deepseek/

Pretty soon I won't be using any American models. It'll be a 100% Chinese open source stack.

The foundation model companies are screwed. Only shovel makers (Nvidia, infra companies) and product companies are going to win.

"The foundation model companies are screwed." Not really, they can either make API access expensive or resign from exposing APIs and offer their custom products. Open Source models are great, but you need powerful hardware to run them, surely it will not be a smartphone, at least in the nearest future.
