Don't have a choice, will probably have to go open-weights models as currently, "AI" is gated using 'whatwg cartel' web engines.

In the light of this, I am mechanically a proponent of very good open weights models, which I can download (for instance on on bittorrent) and run, slowly (the price), on local hardware.

That would be for coding.

If china puts its AI models on the same ground than US capital investment funds and big tech financial support (aka Big Tech international finance), they will very probably lose everything (know how, ML and inference infrastructures).
