USA just drew the red line in the AI war with China

American AI versus Chinese AI. The World may no longer have an option. You have to pick one can have it both ways. Who do you think the world should pick Chinese AI or American AI?

The United States is preparing to tell dozens of countries that they may have to choose between America and China in the rapidly escalating global race for artificial intelligence.

According to a draft State Department letter reviewed by Reuters, countries participating in Washington’s emerging AI coalition are being warned that they cannot simultaneously join competing Chinese initiatives. At the centre of the confrontation is Pax Silica, America’s attempt to build a trusted technology supply chain stretching from critical minerals and semiconductor manufacturing to data centres, advanced chips and artificial intelligence models.

But China is constructing an alternative. Beijing has launched the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization while Chinese open-weight models from companies including DeepSeek, Alibaba and Moonshot AI are spreading rapidly around the world.

In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas examines why Washington is moving from simply restricting China’s access to advanced technology towards building a global AI bloc, why Kazakhstan has suddenly become an important test case, how critical minerals and semiconductor supply chains fit into the competition, and why many countries may resist America’s demand to choose sides.

The biggest question may no longer simply be whether America or China builds the world’s most powerful AI.
It may be whose technological ecosystem the rest of the world chooses to join.

The open weight models make USA plans to "control" the development of Ai dead on arrival. The American model makes no sense, when you consider that soon you can locally host Ai models on your own servers, and build your own training data for your own uses cases using open Ai models.

While some of the frontier models are pushing the envelope, for most use cases the 2nd tier is more than good enough! At the rate that China is progressing, their frontier models will match the US models soon anyway.

Corporate companies aren't going to let you randomly pick any LLM to generate things...they all have to be security vetted. Right now it is Codex and Copilot as pretty much the only viable ones.

While it is great saying this and that have high scores the bottom line is who is going to actually pay for it.
