Former White House cryptocurrency and AI director David Sacks stated on the X platform that China's AI model Kimi K3 has topped the Frontier Code Arena front-end code evaluation for the first time and has reached or approached industry-leading levels in several other benchmark tests. This trend is noteworthy. While China's AI capabilities are rapidly improving, the U.S. is mired in internal disputes over regulatory controversies. He criticized some U.S. politicians and regulatory agencies for restricting the construction of new data centers, increasing state-level regulatory requirements, and pushing for the establishment of new federal agencies to pre-approve cutting-edge AI models. David Sacks warned that if the U.S. slows its pace of innovation due to excessive regulation, it may lose its advantage in the global AI competition. "The U.S. won the internet era through permissionless innovation, and it can win the AI era in the same way; otherwise, we will see our leading position gradually disappear." While the development of AI still needs to address safety risks, regulation should be precise rather than hinder technological innovation. His remarks have reignited discussions about AI regulation, computing infrastructure development, and the competitive landscape of AI between China and the U.S.
