China Signals It May Rein In Open-Source AI Models
Chinese state media declared Beijing's backing for open AI has "limits" — a sharp turn after years of championing it over closed Western models.
Per reports surfacing on Reddit's r/artificial community, Gemini 3.5 Flash (Medium) is breaking mid-conversation — looping on repetitive fragments, losing coherence, and producing outputs that bear no resemblance to a functioning language model.
Developer logs show the model cycling on phrases like 'End of my turn. You wi—' in what looks like either a corrupted deployment or an edge-case failure in Google's streaming inference architecture. The pattern is consistent enough across independent reports to rule out isolated user error.
Google has not acknowledged the issue publicly. For a model positioned as the cost-effective workhorse of the Gemini lineup — the one developers are supposed to feel safe running in production — a silent, unexplained degradation is exactly the kind of event that drives teams to evaluate alternatives.
