David Sacks warns: Chinese AI model tops code test, US regulatory constraints may weaken AI competitiveness

Odaily Planet Daily reported that former White House crypto and AI director David Sacks posted on platform X, stating that the Chinese AI model Kimi K3 has topped the Frontier Code Arena frontend code test for the first time, and has reached or approached industry-leading levels in several other benchmark evaluations. This trend is worth noting. While China's AI capabilities are rapidly improving, the United States is caught in internal strife due to regulatory disputes. He criticized some US politicians and regulatory agencies for restricting the construction of new data centers, increasing state-level regulatory requirements, and promoting the establishment of new federal agencies to conduct pre-approval of cutting-edge AI models.

David Sacks warned that if the US slows down the pace of innovation due to excessive regulation, it may lose its competitive edge in the global AI race. "The US won the internet era through Permissionless Innovation, and can win the AI era the same way; otherwise, we will see our leading position gradually fade away." While AI development still needs to address security risks, regulation should adopt a targeted approach, not hinder technological innovation. His remarks have once again sparked discussions on AI regulation, computing power infrastructure construction, and the competitive landscape of AI between China and the US.
