According to AndrewYNg, U.S. policies such as export controls on AI chips and broader geopolitical actions are causing allied nations to pursue sovereign AI strategies, aiming for technological independence from American companies. As reported by deeplearning.ai, this trend has accelerated the adoption of open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and GLM, especially in regions outside the U.S. Countries including the UAE, India, France, South Korea, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia are investing in domestic foundation models and infrastructure to reduce reliance on U.S. technology. According to the World Economic Forum discussions cited by AndrewYNg, this fragmentation may weaken U.S. influence but is also spurring increased investment in open-source AI, fostering more competition and diverse business opportunities in the AI sector.

According to God of Prompt (@godofprompt), new AI architectures now allow seamless collaboration between different model groups such as Qwen, Llama, and Gemma. This interoperability means code models can be integrated with math models, enabling the cross-exchange of specialized skills and enhancing task-specific performance. For businesses, this trend presents opportunities to build hybrid AI solutions that leverage the strengths of multiple models, accelerating innovation in sectors like software development, scientific research, and data analysis.
