All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

It's not clear.

You know, Alex Wang's a good friend.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

He's come in.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

He's taken over.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

He's obviously incredibly capable.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

I would not hold...

I would not say that they're going fully closed, and I think also they got screwed up because the deep seek people, R1, did such a good job, right?

If you look at the reasoning model in deep seek, and in particular their ability to do reinforcement learning forward and back, forward and back, and forward and back, this is a major achievement, and it appears that they're doing it with less precision

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

than numeric precision than the American models.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

As a bit of technical things, there's something called FP64, FP32, FP16.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

The American models are typically using 16-bit precision for their training.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

The Chinese are pushing 8 and now even 4.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

Well, a number of the large companies have said that they want to be leaders in open source as well.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

Sam Altman indicated that the smallest version of the O3 model would be released, I believe, open weights, and they have done so.

And he told me anyway that this model is much smaller than 10 to the 26th, it's much easier to train, and it will fit or can fit on your phone.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

So one path is to say that we'll have these supercomputers doing AGI, which will always be incredibly expensive and so forth.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

But we also have to watch to make sure that the proliferation of these models for handheld devices is under American control, whether it's OpenAI or Meta or Gemini or what have you.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

I think you were the first investor or the earliest investor in it.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

I was.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Eric Schmidt on AI, the Battle with China, and the Future of America

I'm sorry.
