US Holds 15-20x Compute Advantage, But May Not Matter for Some Threats
ohlennart · x · 2026-08-27
- Compute Gap: US companies can serve 15-20x more quality-adjusted tokens than China.
- Capacity Reality: Serving 23T tokens (peaking at 10T) requires only 1k Blackwells or 3-4k Huawei Ascend 910Cs.
- Open Questions: When does this deployment advantage actually matter, and how should it be leveraged?
