    The issue is that you can’t really “beat” China. Their models are free to self host and use, they don’t play by the rules of US LLM companies.

    Sure it’s going to be the same for personal use, to most people chatGPT or DeepSeek are websites.

    But to enterprise it will be a massive difference in cost, and AI can’t even begin to dream about profitability without enterprise

      Jury’s out on that, they may be using the large US company play of undercut your competitors until they crash and burn then seize the monopoly (e.g. Amazon and bookstores…) then ratchet prices up and enshittify, but with the bankroll of a huge country.
