I think they have a compute shortage and this wouldn’t look very good to investors.

Can you explain why you think they would?

I think a more likely scenario is Anthropic and OpenAI clients start using Chinese open source models directly.

Why pay more for a middleman if you can go directly to the source?

The problem for Anthropic and OpenAI is to devise some political scheme to stop them.
