retains a significant advantage over China in the AI hardware stack, particularly in semiconductors and computing capacity.<\/li>\n<li>China&#8217;s Huawei poses the strongest foreign challenge to the US dominance in AI chip technology but has struggled to match US chip performance.<\/li>\n<li>Beijing is heavily supporting domestic chipmakers like Huawei through subsidies and procurement preferences to close the hardware gap, while also challenging US export controls diplomatically.<\/li>\n<li>Nvidia leads not just in hardware but also in proprietary software, CUDA, which creates strong network effects and maintains a dominant software ecosystem for AI development.<\/li>\n<li>Huawei has launched initiatives to create competitive software alternatives to CUDA, including open-sourcing the CANN toolkit and developing PyTorch compatibility to reduce switching costs.<\/li>\n<li>While significant progress is evident in China\u2019s efforts to catch up in software, substantial challenges remain, including usability issues with CANN and the vast amount of CUDA-optimized code.<\/li>\n<li>Europe lacks a significant presence in both AI chip design and the critical software layer, relying instead on being an input provider rather than a competitor in the global AI race.<\/li>\n<li>European policymakers must consider targeted strategies to close the compute gap and leverage their strengths in open-source and vertical specialization to regain competitiveness in the AI ecosystem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stack
