> Whenever that gets too expensive for Beijing to pay, we won't be getting new SOTA open small models to run on local hardware, which, again, reinforces the decision to use providers for AI inference for now. Valid takeaway. "Invest" in the companies that release their models, because the alternative is to reward the people who will capture the market and jack up the prices to unreasonable level. Unfortunately I think this is a bit like game theory, people will choose the local optimum despite the long term problems with doing so.
