The Geopolitics of AI Compute: How Chip Export Controls Affect Model Training

For decades, the global software engineering ethos operated under the assumption that computational capability was a borderless, democratized utility. If an engineering team possessed the capital to provision virtual machines and the algorithmic sophistication to train a transformer architecture, global cloud networks functioned as an open commons. The underlying hardware stack—silicon accelerators, high-bandwidth memory dies, […]
