"One thing that @gonglei89 raised today that I think is important here. China could use its advantage in RE LIB & super hard tech to "reward" friendly nations. In this case it might be more willing to transfer tech to Malaysia as long as the processed RE comes back to China for later process & secure access to Malaysia's RE resources. That would also apply to other countries w/ large RE reserves like Brazil & Vietnam"

"Qwen3-Max was trained on 36T tokens. Plan from below show scaling data to 100T level token (so X to 10x over now likely many synthetic) Test-time scaling 64k - 1M means vastly more compute resource for reasoning parameter from trillion to 10s of trillion context length from 1M to 10M So more of everything all around that will require more compute for both training & inference. Unclear how well synthetic tokens scale (since more low quality tokens may actually make model worse) Unclear how much better reasoning model can be w/ even 100x more inference compute.

"Looking thru Chinese social media. China is using its buying power to pressure BHP to get in line for more control of iron ore pricing buying in RMB & for its financial system to play a bigger role. Vale purchases have surged due to its willingness to play ball: selling in RMB & trading on DCE. Australian media frame this as China bargaining hard for lower px but RMB usage moving away from Western clearing & trading + pricing control are big parts of this"
