For 18 days, top U.S. AI models were pulled offline. And something alarming happened, startups and venture-backed companies started looking at Chinese open-weight models as an alternative.

SCSP's David Lin, Ylli Bajraktari, and Joe Wang break down why: price, accessibility, and reliability. The rest of the world doesn't need the most powerful frontier models — they just want something open, free, and available. And right now, China is winning that race.
