Aravind Srinivas just explained why China’s open-source AI may become more powerful than ever.
And why Anthropic has lobbied very hard for export control.
“the only reason why there is even a 12-month gap between open source and frontier models is export controls.
But there is a chance that, because of that, they now get really good at the physical layer.
One advantage they (China) have is that they can actually build data centers a lot faster. Power is not a problem. Permits are not a problem. People are not a problem. Labor is not a problem. Expertise is not a problem.
And so, by forcing them to go out there and build all this, you are converting them into a far more potent competitor.“

Anthropic released a paper arguing that the US and allies can lock in a 12-24 month AI lead by 2028 by restricting China's access to advanced compute and model outputs. It highlights China's use of loopholes, smuggled chips, and distillation to stay close, and frames advanced chips as the central bottleneck for AI power.
