The only problem I have is the first point. You are limited by compute and any large language model now needs to report to the government.
They are also weighing in about open source weights so this seems like a warning attack on open source models within 270 days. Which may get open source AI banned under the guise of national security. We need to be loud and speak our thoughts now!
FU Mr World coin. You benefit from Open source and now trying to bite the hand that feed you.
The compute limit is 10^26 operations. For reference, NVIDIA trained GPT-3 on ~3500 H100s in just under 11 minutes which, assuming FP8 which is the highest op count, comes out to ~10^22 operations. With the same setup, they'd have to train for over 81 days to reach the 10^26 limit so it's likely not going to impact anyone except for those training incredibly large models.
Edit: MLPerf link
Yet. Limiting this on todays compute power and requirements seems short sighted
