Brief

Ejaaz (@cryptopunk7213) warns (2026-08-07) that China has open‑sourced a 10T LLM equal to 'mythos', which he says could let a "swarm of Chinese agents" exploit corporate data while US frontier models lag. He reports broad Chinese progress: 5T+ models (gpt 5.5/opus 5), much lower costs (deepseek v4 flash ~105x cheaper than fable), pay‑per‑use moves, Huawei chip adoption, and semiconductor scaling (CXMT IPO, DUV tooling).

Why it matters

On 2026-08-07 @cryptopunk7213 reported a newly open‑sourced 10T Chinese model — the same size as 'mythos' — and warned this could enable “a swarm of Chinese agents” to target company databases defended by weaker Western frontier models.

Key details

  • Author claims multiple Chinese labs are training 5T+ models (called gpt 5.5, opus 5), offering models at ~1/10th the cost (deepseek v4 flash is reported 105x cheaper than fable on some tasks), shifting from free tiers to pay‑per‑use, moving inference/training to Huawei chips, and benefiting from semiconductor scaling (CXMT IPO, DUV tooling).
Source evidence

holy fck it’s a 10T model.. that’s the same size as mythos…

the ramifications of china open sourcing this has not been thought through enough. if you thought the openai hugging face attack was bad, just wait till a swarm of chinese agents descend upon your company database defended by a handicapped american frontier model.

whew.. that’s western frontier llm territory. just to recap where chinese models are at right now:

  • 5T+ models being trained by multiple labs. this is gpt 5.5, opus 5 territory

  • models are 1/10th the price eg deepseek v4 flash is 105x cheaper than fable on some tasks.

  • some chinese labs are killing the free pricing, shifting to pay-per-use.

  • most labs shifting inference and training to huawei chips

  • semiconductor manufacturers are scaling i.e. cxmt ipo, duv tooling.
