The inverse is also true: many companies are refusing to use American models due to security and IP concerns. And it's more concerning here: American companies straight up say they will train on your IP; local Chinese models structurally can't. The security concern goes this way too: for American companies, you're relying on their own security infrastructure and essentially blind trust. For locally hosted Chinese models, you 100% control the security story.

The reality this demonstrates: most US companies don't give even 2 shits about their IP, and are fine willingly handing it to Anthropic et al. Those that do care largely must care contractually. For group 2, they're either using Chinese today or aren't using AI at all. Those are the only two valid options, there is no secret "use US but self host it" third option.
