yes but a sovereign can allocate some resources and a few people to stay in the loop from a first principles level. No need to wait for a rug pull.

Of course, it can not compete with the frontier labs. But good to have researchers and professors "in-house". LLMs are here for the long-term.

I'm not in this field, but I think we already have them. Probably the main difference is that we have most or all of them in academia and next to none insode private companies. But we do have them, and they could start working for private companies if the market moves in that direction in the EU as well

Unfortunately in this game first principles requires massive resources, not "some". Building in-house on top of existing open weights is a good way to bootstrap this process, especially since there's nothing inherently magical or particularly expertise-heavy when it comes to weights themselves
