The U.S. just launched a $100 MILLION strike.
The target: China’s AI dominance.
OpenAI and Nvidia execs are backing it.
Their first discovery?
A shocking truth about how breakthroughs really happen:
China now controls 5 of the top 15 open-source AI models.
In July alone, Chinese companies released 4 leading models.
American developers released zero.
This isn't just losing market share. It's about losing control of AI's future...
While U.S. companies protected proprietary models, China went all-in on open-source.
DeepSeek released tech matching Western rivals for free.
This sparked a "DeepSeek moment" inspiring developers worldwide.
Sam Altman admitted OpenAI might be "on the wrong side of history":
Innovation speed beats innovation quality.
China didn't win by building perfect models in closed labs.
They won by getting technology into developers' hands fast.
This changes how breakthroughs happen...
Take robotics progress.
We don't advance by perfecting models for years.
We advance by deploying, learning, and iterating in real environments.
Every stuck delivery bot teaches something.
There's a deeper connection most people miss:
Open-source AI isn't just software. It's the backbone of progress.
From delivery bots to humanoids, every leap in physical automation depends on faster AI innovation.
When AI models are locked away, development crawls.
That's why ATOM's $100 million bet matters...
If they succeed, we won't just close the gap with China in AI.
We'll accelerate the U.S. robotics revolution.
Imagine 10,000 GPUs powering openly available models within 12 months.
Every startup, lab, and integrator could build on world-class AI.
The implications?
Plants could deploy smarter robots faster.
Restaurants could automate with proven AI.
Warehouses could optimize with cutting-edge models.
All because the underlying AI is open, fast, and improving daily.
The ATOM Project is more than a race to match China’s AI output.
It’s an opportunity to reassess how the U.S. approaches innovation.
Because AI that stays in the cloud is potential.
AI that powers robots in the real world is progress.
And progress is how we win.
Your success is our mission.
We empower businesses and educators to overcome challenges and thrive by harnessing the power of AI and robotics automation.
