Did China land a sucker punch on Sam Altman’s OpenAI in AI scaling secret race?
SMRTR summary
A controversy has emerged over the origins of AI scaling laws, crucial for large language models. OpenAI's 2020 paper on scaling laws may have built on earlier work by Baidu. Former OpenAI VP Dario Amodei observed scaling effects at Baidu in 2014. Critics argue OpenAI selectively cited Baidu's research, omitting a relevant 2017 paper. The debate highlights attribution issues in AI research, though experts suggest both companies made significant parallel contributions.
