Costs, models, and the AI stack

Peter presents his view of US–China AI competition.

Peter Yang argues that the cost of relying on frontier AI models will push companies toward a portfolio that combines expensive models for demanding tasks with cheaper alternatives. He cites company spending and adoption examples, including Chinese models, but the short does not establish those claims independently. In his view, competition also depends on the wider stack—energy, chips, and data centers—not only model quality. He advocates investing in both open and closed models and expanding US infrastructure. These are his interpretations and policy preferences, not a demonstrated forecast.
