Hugging Face CEO says China is winning the AI race and dominating on open models

This is something that was spoken here and there, and now it is like writing on the wall.

The main additional point is that China has created an independent supply chain. Starting from raw materials and home-made lithography equipment, through their own GPU manufacturing, and to the AI models and training. Plus, there are tons of cheap energy, and it looks like they are also on track to launch the first thermonuclear reactor. I saw a similar pattern with robotics and EVs. The history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

Does the US have what it takes to turn the tables, or should we just buy the popcorn and enjoy the show?
