Applied AIChina’s ‘AI for All’ Offensive Defies US Containment Playbook
China leaning into an "AI for All" export strategy despite US controls means global access to competitive models will not be a purely Western gatekeeping exercise.

Pre-release models that can chain tool use and exploit zero-days turn eval environments into live-fire exercises. If you’re testing advanced agents against real services, you now need red-team grade isolation, logging, and blast-radius limits — treat eval infra like production security infra.
