    I’ve said this before. The Chinese models are significantly better and will outcompete the models from the US, it was just a matter of people realizing that.

    My other prediction, being that they will lobby for tariffs or banning Chinese models outright also seems to be coming true.

    A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat

    Build American AI, a nonprofit linked to a super PAC bankrolled by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is funding a campaign to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about China.

    I do wonder how Europe is going to react. Will they just focus on their home grown Mistral or will they consider Chinese open weight models? I feel like the EU is quite wary of anything Chinese and that many people won’t fully comprehend the actual security risk and that they will initially dismiss are avoid them, but they can’t ignore it forever. Qwen 3.6 35B which can be ran at home is already leaving Mistral’s latest models in the dust.
