    Hi,

    How it started (released January 20, 2025):

    Despite trailing the U.S., China continues to make
    significant strides in AI development. A notable example
    is the Chinese startup DeepSeek, which released an AI
    model named R1. This model demonstrates reasoning
    capabilities comparable to leading U.S. models and is
    available as open-source software, allowing free use and
    commercialization. However, R1 faces issues with censorship,
    likely influenced by Chinese regulations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepSeek#Release_history

    How its going (released January 21, 2025):

    In a strategic move to further solidify its leadership,
    President Donald Trump announced the Stargate initiative.
    This $500 billion investment, a collaboration between OpenAI,
    Oracle, and SoftBank, aims to develop extensive AI
    infrastructure across the U.S., including data centers
    and energy facilities. The project is expected to create
    over 100,000 jobs and enhance the nation's AI capabilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stargate_Project

    With SoftBank they basically call Japan for help!

    LoL

    Bye
