Several top K Street firms, including Akin Gump, have ceased representation of Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military amid increased scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers. The move follows concerns of losing access to Capitol Hill for representing designated PRC companies under the 1260H blacklist. Chinese companies are reported to be lagging behind the U.S. in generative AI by at least a year, relying heavily on U.S. technology for advancements.

"Even as the country races to build generative A.I., Chinese companies are relying almost entirely on underlying systems from the U.S. China now lags the U.S. in generative A.I. by at least a year and may be falling further behind." @paulmozur @JohnLiuNN https://t.co/u2bjqi2kHq
NY Times: “China is leveraging US open-source to play catch-up” “Chinese orgs are relying almost entirely on the US” The race is our fault: the US is putting them under “tremendous pressure” Estimates China is 1-3 years behind Chinese companies themselves openly admit they’re… https://t.co/6k7VA6x3PW https://t.co/65gsbI89i6
Efforts by a large section of US technology majors to subject open-source generative AI to curbs and regulations could stifle innovation across the world, said @AndrewYNg, founder of DeepLearning AI

Tech insiders and engineers say China lags behind the US in generative AI by at least one year, leading Chinese companies to rely on US models like Meta's LLaMA (New York Times) https://t.co/H6frThvcJR 📫 Subscribe: https://t.co/OyWeKSRpIM https://t.co/35QuOcoJ6d
👀 per @politico, @akin_gump has dropped Hesai after DOD added them to the 1260H blacklist. Big deal. K St firms don’t want to lose Hill access for repping designated PRC companies. Keep an eye on other firms (Brownstein, Vogel, SPB) repping 1260H companies (Hesai, DJI, BGI)… https://t.co/ysqaYuzd8L
