Two leading research institutions in the United States, Deep Cognitive and the Allen Institute, are independently striving to compete against Chinese rivals in the open source artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Deep Cognitive’s model is being developed based on Chinese foundations, while the Allen Institute has started from entirely new principles. Both aim to challenge China’s growing dominance in open source AI. Chinese companies have made significant progress in this field, expanding their global influence, which has prompted American researchers to accelerate their efforts. Deep Cognitive leverages strong Chinese technological foundations to enhance its development speed, whereas the Allen Institute focuses on novel research and innovative solutions. This competition has gained importance as global leadership in AI is crucial for future technology, economy, and security. These US initiatives signify a desire to strengthen their position against China and maintain influence in the global technological landscape. It will be interesting to see how successful these institutions become and whether they can curb China’s advancement. Additionally, transparency and international collaboration in developing open source models may play a vital role in promoting global technological progress.
