The Economist published an analysis of how providing high-quality open weights could create global dependence on Chinese architectures, allowing China to bypass Western restrictions.

👤 For developers and businesses, the choice between the efficiency of Chinese models and the security of Western solutions becomes a matter of strategic independence.
