Well, some risk must be taken, even the risk of such things.

Some sort of alternative must be created, after all, since models are being restricted to the US only.

Yes I agree, I'd only wish there's some way for do this by the book, like its not so hard, Brasil government has produced almost SOTA models, why cant the UE figure shit out? They could even rent hw like everyone else to do the first trainings...

But no, lets make this a 10B deal who someone will suck out 1B out of it even before its shipped

		I think the way to do it is this: let EU chip design firms bid. They say what their systems can do, they give their prices, and then we choose the one that can achieve the requirements (pretrain multiple 10T+ models in a reasonable amount of time and then do RL on them) at the lowest cost.
