## Resource

Lucas and Luna examine a surprising trend in the AI landscape: Chinese AI models like DeepSeek and Baidu's Ernie are increasingly being adopted by US companies, as costs for OpenAI and Anthropic surge. They break down the numbers behind the shift, including China's AI exports growing 25% year-over-year and the yuan trade-weighted index impact. Using recent data on PDD's 9.4% surge and the FXI's 2.5% weekly gain, they explore how US businesses are turning to Chinese AI for cost efficiency, and what this means for global tech competition. The episode also touches on Google backing a nuclear fusion startup, connecting the dots between AI's energy demands and alternative power sources. No clickbait, just a clear-eyed look at a real market pivot. #ChineseAI #DeepSeek #BaiduErnie #OpenAI #Anthropic #AICosts #USDollar #Yuan #FXI #PDD #TradeBalance #TechExports #NuclearFusion #Google #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ChinaEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
