## AI 摘要

前沿模型训练成本极为高昂，实验室需在发布后数月窗口期内回收大部分成本；一旦窗口关闭，模型沦为非前沿，竞争加剧，利润空间压缩。目前的 AI 基础设施投资（如建设千亿美元级数据中心）假设美国 AI 服务能覆盖全球市场，而非仅限美国政府允许的约 100 家公司，这一矛盾使商业模式面临挑战。

This is a bad state of affairs. Consider, in particular, some industry dynamics:

Frontier models are trained at an enormous cost, and a significant fraction of that cost is recouped in the few post-release months that they are broadly available. After that period elapses, the models become sub-frontier, competition emerges, and margins compress. Every week of delay is eating into the narrow window that labs have to make their accounting work.

The ongoing AI infrastructure buildout—the one that is, according to former US AI Czar David Sacks, essential to the US economy, assumes a functionally global total addressable market for US AI services. No one is building $100 billion dollar data centers to serve frontier models to whatever 100 companies the US government will allow access. [...]
