Musk: China's AI makes the most of limited computing power to reach global top levels, chip bottleneck may be resolved in 2 to 3 years.

Beating AI News Flash: Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in an exclusive interview with CCTV Finance that China's AI large models are overall "very outstanding." Especially under compute constraints, Chinese models' output per unit of compute has already approached the world's top level.

Musk judged that China will solve the compute bottleneck faster than most people expect. He roughly estimated that in the next 2 to 3 years, China can rely on lithography technology and chip manufacturing capabilities to close the compute gap. In his original English remarks, he focused on performance per unit of compute, that is, how strong a model can be made with the same amount of compute.
