>What would make the EU choose one side—performance, subsidies, or ethics?

Why should the EU, a supernational bureaucracy, control what models people or countries can use? Shouldn't decisions about AI be made by individuals and enterprises based on what works best for them?

Instead of regulating others or forcing "neutrality," why not compete directly? Put up $10B for the first open-weight, locally-hosted European model that beats today’s best performers.

In reality, the EU has several acts that attack China and multiple models outright deny the EU access to their models; and the EU already bans the use of deepseek. The EU is legislating themselves out of being an AI player.
