The future of American frontier AI isn't API calls, it's you taking your task to OAI/Anthropic like a consultant/external entity, then getting a product or whatever back, without ever seeing a large volume of intermediate work. This is inevitable because of the combination of distillation threat and proprietary harness development effort required to push performance at the bleeding edge.

OAI/Anthropic are 100% going to try to take everyone's jobs, and "own" labor. The Chinese are the good guys here.
