Is this a reasonable measure? Top 1% by number of citations, but these citations are not mediated by _who_ is citing the papers. Outside of any specific nation, it's known to be a problem that people will play citations games with their peers to bolster credibility: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/11/science/science-journal-pulls-60-papers-in-peer-review-fraud.html

+ huge adoption of EV (it helps that they own the entire supply chain lol) + apparently an LLM called Yi-Large is catching up very very quickly (first learnt about this from Alexandr Wang's interview with 20VC) https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1cyoun2/yilarge_catching_up_to_gpt4_overtakes_claude_3/
