> China's strategy of spending billions on training these models and open sourcing these models away is strategic - they want to kill the US LLM industry at any cost.

Why is it when Anthropic and OpenAI spend billions trying to beat each other it is competition, but when the Chinese companies do it then it is trying to kill the US LLM industry at any cost.

The US federal government spends billions in subsidies via the US Chip Act, and bans chip sales to China to support US companies.

But the implication is that somehow Chinese competition is illegitimate because "strategic".

Jingoism is the answer I believe.
