Just open weights are not enough, I think as a nation state you'd at least want a whole sovereign training pipeline. Otherwise you are stuck when Kimi K4 stops releasing their weights.

But I don't see why this needs to be done on a state-by-state level, a sovereign EU model seems to be much more realistic in terms of funding.

I actually think we should be revisiting PMT photomultipler tube construction, and electron-"optical" matrix multiplication.

The annoying part of optical matrix multiplication is the conversion from electronic to optic and back.

Why not use electron-optics for matrix multiplication and use dynodes for amplification.
