"Model capabilities increase logarithmically with the hardware resources
used to train them. In effect, this means you can make a model 90% as
good as the model on the current frontier of AI performance with only
10% of the hardware. This is why limiting access to graphics processing
units won’t stop America’s competition. Foreign companies and
governments, even those with a fraction of the resources, will still be
able to push neck-and-neck with U.S. companies. It was inevitable that a
Chinese model like DeepSeek—open-source, cheaply trained—would come
along to challenge American pre-eminence in AI, regardless of how
tightly Washington controlled chip exports.
...
While America can’t stop global AI model competition, what we can do is
lead the race for AI implementation. What will determine if a nation is
ahead on AI isn’t if it has the best models first, but if it is
translating AI into widespread benefits for society. This means bringing
the best models into organizations’ core missions and processes, from
the factory floor to the operating room to the battlefield."
