"the only reason why there is even a 12-month gap between open source and frontier models is US export controls."
Perplexity’s CEO Aravind Srinivas on why China’s open-source AI may become more powerful than ever.
And why Anthropic has lobbied very hard for export control.
"There is a chance that, because of the export controls, 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."
