No.
I feel like this was not on purpose.
If you're releasing an open model, you want people to use it as the first and foremost thing.
And then after that comes things like transparency and trust.
I think when you look at China, the biggest reason is that they want people around the world to use these models.
And I think a lot of people will not.
If you look outside of the US, a lot of people will not pay for software, but they might have computing resources where you can put a model on it and run it.
I think there can also be data that you don't want to send to the cloud.
So the number one thing is getting people to use models, use AI or use your AI that might not be able to do it without having access to the model.
A lot of American startups make money by hosting these models from China and selling them.
It's called selling tokens, which means somebody will call the model to do some piece of work.
I think the other reason is for U.S.
companies.
OpenAI is so GPU deprived.
They're so...
They're at the limits of the GPUs.
Whenever they make a release, they're always talking about, like, our GPUs are hurting.
And I think there's, like, in one of these, like, GPT-OSS release sessions, Sam Altman said, like, oh, we're releasing this because we can use your GPUs.
We don't have to use our GPUs.
And OpenAI can still get distribution out of this, which is another very real thing.
