The asymmetry is strategic, not just a capability gap: US labs treat open-weighting as commoditizing their moat, so they hold back frontier models for API monetization, while Chinese labs lacking compute parity use open weights to set the global standard and build dependency before the US ever competes on that axis. Once Rakuten or Saudi infra is built on GLM/DeepSeek architectures, switching costs lock in long after any capability gap closes.
