tinygrad on US-China AI Strategy: Open Source and Compute
mohbibi_ · x · 2026-07-17
tinygrad shared commentary on the current US-China AI strategic landscape. The core argument is that China aims to become the global AI provider by offering free open-source models alongside its dominance in solar, steel, and computer manufacturing. This is a classic strategy of "commoditizing the complement." The commentary also notes that US restriction policies are self-defeating, as they could have profited by selling NVIDIA hardware to everyone.
