    "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 wonrCOt stop AmericarCOs 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 DeepSeekrCoopen-source, cheaply trainedrCowould come
    along to challenge American pre-eminence in AI, regardless of how
    tightly Washington controlled chip exports.
    ..
    While America canrCOt 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 isnrCOt 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 organizationsrCO core missions and processes, from
    the factory floor to the operating room to the battlefield."
