Alrdy did. Forced China to go all in in the chip race and they're catching up fast.
I wonder if the US will end the restrictions if China pulls ahead in LLM ability, considering they serve no purpose if China's already ahead? Although given they seem to want to ban Chinese drones without any competitive local alternative, maybe not.
Deepseek can run on Huawei Ascend chips already and Nvidia pretended respecting the restrictions with the H800 (and was never punished for that)
Good. As much as I don't like some things about China, but damn it they're really good at cutting down costs. I look forward to their version of Nvidia GPUs at half the price.
