      I mean anybody who lived through the rise of Linux on the server should understand the benefit of releasing common infrastructure in the open and amortizing costs that way. The real difference in philosophy is that Americans companies treat the model as the product, while Chinese companies see models at infrastructure you build products on top of. You amortize the cost of deploying it at scale by sharing knowledge and iterating quickly to bring the cost down.
