Time to switch to open weight Chinese models.

Any company that uses Magaland LLMs should be aware of the very real Trump related risk.

What happens if the LLM your firm runs on is disabled tomorrow, because Trump wakes up feeling slightly annoyed...

I've been able to move away from most US suppliers, but they do still have the best stuff when it comes to CPUs, GPUs and LLMS. By now I'd expected that some ARM chip would be on par with AMD/Intel, but even disregarding compatibility, they aren't. You'd think there is some ML-capable chip on the market with crappy software but on par with NVidia; even disregarding software there just isn't. For some reasons the Americans make the best stuff. I'm not American myself, so there is zero nationalism involved. Just a frustrated buyer :) As a buyer, I'd like options.
