OpenAI/Anthropic is incentivized to prevent this.

They are also big enough and unregulated enough that they could use their power & political/industry relationships to drive up the price of local AI ownership (RAM, GPUs, etc)

    I'm not sure of how much they can actually prevent us from just running foss Chinese alternatives locally though

    Exactly, and a lot of big companies in US are heavily reliant on Chinese models already. For example, Airbnb uses Qwen cause they can self host it and customize it. Cursor built their latest composer model on top of Kimi, and so on. There are far more companies using these tools than making them, so while open models hurt companies that want to sell them as a service, they're lowering the cost for everyone else.
