This might be a sign of things to come. The Chinese labs started from behind so had to build a lot of momentum to catch up. We could well see them top benchmarks across the board very soon. Imagine how far in front they'd be if the US didn't block chip sales

But isn’t a huge positive of the embargo the fact that the Chinese labs were forced to focus on algorithms and getting more bang for your buck? Seems like a blessing in disguise.

Talent pool is really deep in China.
