I think that the reason is that American labs only focus on their biggest models, and make the smaller ones afterthoughts distilled from the main models. I wonder what would happen if they decided to optimize and train better smaller models.

The problem is, they can't. If they offer smaller models for less money, it would eat up their premium offers.

The only way forward for American companies is to push for always bigger and more expensive models while using regulatory pressure and fear mongering (FUD) to discard price effective competition from China.

This is not going to end well for the US, for the US economy, and therefore, for the rest of the world.
