This is important, don't think that just because someone speaks are at a conference in China w/o intended US audience that there isn't an agenda focused on lobbying domestic policymakers

once all low low hanging fruit has been picked, it'll all come down to who has the most compute and it's hard to pay for that with open source models and trade limits on gpus. america will look unstoppable in this second inning. china's only option is a concentrated national

Why would top Chinese AI leaders admit so publicly that they're falling behind the US due to computer constraints? One answer: they're lobbying Beijing fiercely to get export controls lifted and allow purchases of more powerful Nvidia chips like the H200. https://www.bloomberg.co…

Chinas AI leaders: see leapfrogging the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic at less than 20% over the next three to five years. The reason? Compute, of course. Compute is Americas biggest moat. [image]
