China’s AI models have Trump’s AI world at war with itself

- China’s Kimi model just dropped, free and open-source, and it’s wrecking the US AI oligopoly’s pricing power. Trump’s inner circle is fighting like cats in a bag: David Sacks called Anthropic “lobotomized,” while Emil Michael called OpenAI’s strategist a “village idiot.” It’s classic meat wallet drama. The administration wants to ban open source to protect their friends; the market wants cheap compute. Sacks is gone, but his point stands: if you can’t compete on quality, regulate your way to victory. This isn’t just politics; it’s an arbitrage opportunity for anyone who knows how to run local inference. While DC argues over licensing regimes, the tech is already here.
