Anthropic frames AI competition with China as a now-or-never moment for Washington

Anthropic released a policy paper saying advanced compute is the key bottleneck in AI competition with China.

The company urges the U.S. to tighten controls on AI chips, cloud access, and model distillation loopholes.

It argues that policy decisions now could determine whether the U.S. or China leads frontier AI by 2028.

The paper frames compute and AI infrastructure as strategic chokepoints that could shape future democratic or authoritarian norms.
