The U.S. and China are racing over AI model weights as Chinese approval times plummeted from 60 days to a week. Xi Jinping frames open-source AI as a public good while China pursues robotics to address demographics and spread influence globally. The White House may soon decide whether to negotiate with Beijing or block the release of new Chinese models.

Do you think the US government starts a strategy of constraining in some fashion Chinese open weight models from being used in the US?
Well, you know, in 2 weeks these weights are supposed to be open weight, open sourced. We'll see. You know, like this probably if they're rational at the White House right now, they're spending every minute in a debate on do we negotiate with China immediately and not release those open weights?
So there was an important speech by Xi Jinping at the World AI Conference in Shanghai. Where he basically said, we are gonna fully back open source as a public good for humanity, and they're not gonna regulate and stop it. This is their plan. It's great for China for a variety of reasons, from the fact they have a billion people whose IQ is about to increase, you know, by having these tools, from the fact they need robots to solve their demographic thing, and the soft power from putting a Chinese-educated brain, a Tsinghua graduate, into every critical system in the world. But they're gonna keep on doing that 'cause they actually have a regulator. And from talking to some of the Chinese labs, it used to take 60 days for a model to be approved. Now it's like a week.
