The Model Is the Nation: Claude Opus 4.8 and the US–China AI Cold War
Using Claude Opus 4.8 as the current anchor of American AI national power, this analysis dissects the real fault lines across four simultaneous battlegrounds: the model gap, distillation infiltration, chip blockade, and compute bifurcation.
The Model Is the Nation:
