Despite U.S. controls on chips and capital, China is developing capable AI models and sharing them openly.

Chinese models, such as Qwen from Alibaba , Yi from 01.AI , or DeepSeek , are among the most capable, most preferred and largest open models globally, and fast setting a global standard in AI .

To win in AI , the U.S. must champion open-source diplomacy, says Ben Brooks and Michelle Fang .

Restricting open models would limit global access to AI technology, leaving a vacuum for Chinese labs to fill.

Policymakers must balance risks against the benefit of open models for transparency and competition in AI .
