Calling them American owned models implies some sort of public ownership. These are models controlled by individuals whose benefits are absolutely not uniformly shared among the populace.

I mean FFS a single hyper scale datacenter can provide free school lunches for a year. Something tells me the economic output of making sure children are fed is way higher than whether Zuckerberg can own another Hawaiian island by allowing people to be scammed by LLMs.

Not really, it’s a pretty common way to address companies that are part of a bigger geopolitical story. The press will happily refer to Chinese models, European when talking about Mistral, Canadian with Cohere… etc.

I’m an American person yet I’m not public property.

The implication is that American models winning would actually benefit Americans. That's not going to happen at all and talking about as if China "winning" would harm Americans is delusional cold war thinking at best.
