Almost like the entire worlds manufacturing was pushed to China the last 40 years (and is now getting moved to cheaper countries with the rising Chinese middle class). Is there a similar explanation for why the US number is so high?

IP laws work if the penalty is larger than the use case of the data. Pretty sure literally every US company is using the data knowing they won't be punished equivalently. We're living in the age of trillionaires, Facebook paid 5b$ for the cambridge analytica scandal, something Elmo could write off as a business expense at this point...

According to Pat Toulme, the thinking traces and outputs that the Chinese researchers distilled are useful for getting initial trajectories, to prevent a cold start during RL. Once you get those initial correct trajectories (the model actually solving a task), you can generate you own new traces, so the distillation is already done, there is no need for further reasoning traces. Sure they could probably get better alignment with the frontier by distilling fruther, but in any case the damage is already done, at this point hiding reasoning is mostly just hurting users

It doesn't seem correct at all though? the supposedly best one isn't even the best gemini flash output (the medium one looks better than the high one)

If you don't have an agent heavy workflow, you'd be surprised how far the 20$ subscription stretches. I used ~500$ of usage in the last month on a team 20$ plan.

Really almost all benchmarks I look at have a cost per task column, which is basically the code size metric if you take an extra step

If you have a problem with the math notation, you should open a law book, and look at the terminology mess they have going on. I like math notation, because it can be simply converted into natural language, thus removing the notation from the equation and leaving pure logic. Once you have that, thinking about it and working out what the original notation actually meant should be on you, that's how you build an understanding of math.
