Community notes: Ling's Blackwell usage was an open secret, papers admitted renting compute
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-13
Responding to the Blackwell fingerprinting claims, @lostastera argues that Ling has had clear Blackwell support for a while, and its early papers openly admitted renting all of its compute — so Ling training on Blackwells was "kinda open" in the community.
It's a community corroboration of the leak, pointing to rented overseas compute rather than smuggled chips.
