The optimal cost and performance come from using a hybrid approach. Use smart, expensive models to plan query execution and smaller, and cheaper models to execute individual tasks. #🇨🇳 ChinA.I. 🤖🧠🦾🤖 https://www.theinformation.com/newsletters/applied-ai/anthropic-models-can-cheaper-use-chinese-ones-study-finds?offer=rtsu-engagement-25%2Crtsu-featured-articles-pro&utm_campaign=%5BClaude%5D+%5BNL%5D+RTSU%3A&utm_content=14501&utm_medium=email&utm_source=cio&utm_term=10122&rc=gzsl71

Simon Johnson, "They all went through a phase when they were running neck and neck with the Americans on frontier technologies, such as space technology, vehicles or aircraft. But none of them could stay the course." None of them have more STEM and invests so much as China in R&D.  Not to menetion the second to none supply chain China has. Meanwhile, US is cutting on basic research and increases deficit spendings to fund the war of choice. Past performance is no guarrantee of future results. https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3361690/nobel-laureate-simon-johnson-ai-race-and-chinas-over-automation-problem?utm_source=cm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GME-O-enlz-uv&UUID=f9aaf50d26626de042873bfe2733d91d&utm_content=20260727_Open_Questions_B2C&CMCampaignID=33880917877942e3255ac6544803bed9

Researchers found an unusually blatant backdoor in routers sold under multiple brands, with firmware contacting cloud servers in China for instructions and enabling remote control, raising supply-chain security concern #Digital Wellness 📱🧘 #Gadgets https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/06/biggest-backdoor-yet-found-in-chinese-routers-sold-under-multiple-brand-names/?_bhlid=e9bcf4aa5300c64bba7c431b543f5dfea8673a6c

OpenRouter gives developers one interface to manage hundreds of #Artificial Intelligence models — including offerings from OpenAI, Anthropic, and open weight labs — allowing for easy comparisons and switch-offs. Stripe already handles OpenRouter’s payments and billing. Buying the company simply pushes them into owning the layer that #(Cool) Dev developers use to access and pay for models. The headline here is the price: OpenRouter was valued at $1.3 billion in May, so a $10 billion deal bumps that up by 8x in a matter of months. Talks could still fall apart, but it’s becoming clear how much value investors have attached to the plumbing behind the AI model marketplace. https://www.benzinga.com/markets/private-markets/26/07/60678706/stripe-eyes-openrouter-in-potential-10-billion-ai-infrastructure-deal
