Chinese AI strategy is edge computing focused vs US AGI/ASI centered

Chinese AI strategy is edge computing focused vs US AGI/ASI centered | the Chinese strategy is a bit different. It's less central computing and much more edge computing... We're much more AGI ASI centered | Claude 5 / GPT-6 / Gemini 3 capability benchmarks

Key catalyst: Claude 5 / GPT-6 / Gemini 3 capability benchmarks

Watch events: ARC-AGI-2 scores; Frontier Math Tier 4 benchmark; SWE-bench Verified; Humanity's Last Exam
