Investor tszzl: Chinese open-source models have earned huge global goodwill and soft power

Prominent硅Valley investor tszzl observes that China's open-source model efforts have rightfully earned enormous global goodwill and soft power — even most Americans in the AI space feel more sympathetic to Chinese model companies than to their domestic closed-source counterparts.
In a follow-up, he notes that many governments value the stability of self-hosting Chinese open-source models over depending on potentially mercurial US model API export policies. He frames this as observation, not recommendation.
