Industry experts warn this could create a compute monopoly, controlling who can innovate in AI and at what cost. Meanwhile, China pursues an alternative strategy by subsidizing smaller, open-source models that require less computing power, potentially democratizing AI development. Meta takes a different approach by aggressively hiring top researchers with large bonuses. The competition highlights how compute scarcity has become a critical factor in the AI race. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
