Imagine you can tap into a government-run AI model for all of your requests, and that too ad infinitum. That was the stated purpose behind the "fanzha-ai-proxy" project that just got booted off GitHub, with many Chinese developers comparing it to "picking fleas off a tiger's head" in what is a nod to the severe penalties that China typically hands for such stunts. The premise behind a Chinese developer's fanzha-ai-proxy project was as utilitarian as daring and ambitious, but it was not meant to last A Chinese developer, who goes by the pseudonym "kltyton," had released the "fanzha-ai-proxy" project on […]

When an unknown AI lab drops an anonymous model - Ox Alpha - for free, while declaring that they have the capacity to process up to 100 trillion tokens per day, we can reasonably surmise that the 'Wild West' age of cutthroat competition for AI models has arrived. Given the fact that not many AI labs have the capacity to process the declared quantum of tokens per day, the internet is going bonkers trying to figure out if the Ox Alpha is an unreleased model in the GLM family, DeepSeek's V4-Flash, or SpaceXAI's unreleased Grok model. It is quite likely […]

An illegal intrusion into an IT system is a serious criminal offense in China, one that carries a 3-year jail term. Even so, some adrenaline junkies inadvertently go to great lengths to invite the ire of law enforcement agencies, as members of an API relay station centered on distributing 'jailbroken' AI models have just found out to their detriment. An Underground AI Group Kept Selling 'Jailbroken' Models In China - Then One User Took It Too Far A bizarre anecdote out of China has just shown how a person's foolishness can end up biting the proverbial feeding hand. For the […]

The race for open-weight models in the US is heating up even as China continues to own this segment, as evidenced by NVIDIA's release of its Nemotron 3.5 Lightning AI model, which has dropped just hours after Meta introduced its Muse Glimmer model on Monday. NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is trying to solve the token bottleneck problem when the real constraints lie with the orchestration layer As stated earlier, NVIDIA has just released the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, an open-weight, mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with 30 billion parameters (3 billion active parameters) that is designed to handle and orchestrate always-on agents that […]

NVIDIA's Nemotron class of open-source LLMs just got significantly enhanced with the latest release, Nemotron 3 Super, which now targets agentic AI workloads with its extensive context window. NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Super Leverages Mamba-MoE, With an Extensive 1-Million Token Context Window For those unaware, when we talk about the leading contributors to the world of open-source AI models, some might think of Chinese AI labs like Kimi or Qwen, but in reality, NVIDIA's Nemotron suite leads in this way. As AI is distributed across a "five-layer" cake, NVIDIA has not only dominated infrastructure and chips but is also one of […]
