@linux @opensource @linux@diggita.com Grazie mille!

Different chips can be used for training but as I said it's driver hell and much easier to just use Nvidia. As time goes on different vendors are catching up to Nvidia but I still think they're having a hard time with it. Chinese companies aren't still buying Nvidia because they love paying ludicrous rates for a tiny bit of extra VRAM on a GPU chip that's basically the same as the gaming one.

The llms.txt angle here is a good illustration of how quickly an agent turns text into execution. The structural issue is that the agent runs as a trusted local user, with whatever file and network permissions the developer's machine happens to have. Two things that helped in our case (I build a self-hosted agent workbench, TaskHandoff - docs at https://docs.thandoff.com/, so this is self-promo): Give the agent somewhere disposable to run. We treat each task as bound to a workspace - a machine or environment you registered - so the blast radius of a bad instruction is that workspace rather than your whole fleet. Make the diff the review gate. Nothing lands without a human reading the change. If an agent quietly installed something because a fetched instruction file told it to, that shows up as an unexplained diff instead of silently joining the environment. Neither of these solves prompt injection and I don't want to pretend otherwise. It changes the failure mode from "a repo file executed on a laptop holding cloud credentials" to "a sandboxed workspace got weird and a human rejected the diff". Genuinely curious whether anyone has seen tooling that flags instruction-file-sourced commands explicitly, instead of leaning on diff review after the fact.

There is no way around needing helium, but China will boost their own production in time and they have access to helium from Russia as well. Meanwhile, the reason they can move so fast is due to having a centrally planned system the west rejects. It's the same reason Russia is now outproducing all of NATO in terms of weapons and ammunition. The west is in no position to recreate the necessary supply chains. Rare earths alone is a perfect example. I wrote about the problem in detail here if you're interested. Even under the most aggressive diversification scenarios, China is expected to retain 80% of global refining capacity by 2040. And that's just one example. The west has very little leverage at this point. Also, as she correctly points out, China doesn't need to get to ASML levels to make these fabs useful. As long as they're better than the current ones, that already means China will be producing better domestic chips. And they're also innovating with architecture as well such as Huawei's tau law design which folds the chip and dramatically improves performance. All these things work together. Finally, China is aggressively pursuing alternative computing substrates and some are already starting to come online. This is a recent example. These kinds of things have the potential to leapfrog silicon chips entirely. There's nothing comparable happening in the west because you can't do these kinds of projects without massive amount of state funding and direction to sustain them until they become profitable on their own.
