The trained model is a guarded treasure. There's a reason why very few ML papers publish their trained models; or Deepmind/OpenAI never releasing the resulting models - it's expensive to train the network, but cheap to use it afterwards. You don't want anyone unauthorized to get their hands on it.

Well, somehow the models must be monetized.

Either by giving them to the customer (Like Tesla will put them into cars) or by letting the customer interact with them via the internet (SaaS).

Either way - if the production of the models is most efficient in China, then we should see them being made in China.
