by now we’re used to:

• frontier model launches
• 6-12 months later, the chinese open weight models close the gap

this week we’re seeing:

• jev launches
• a few days later, swarms of US AI developers ship their own open weight models:)

tracking 2-3 early ones so far, but looks like some great open weight alternatives coming within the week

I’m sure there will be some great chinese open weight alts for jev coming also
