Nauti's Take
China's AI progress puts cheap open models into circulation, and European developers benefit from that directly. The limit shows up in the real economy, where weak growth, soft consumption and a damaged property sector can hardly fund this build-out forever.
Teams using Chinese models gain on price and should still plan around supply chain and export risk.
