The scramble for ever-more efficient Large Language Models (LLMs) is today’s new arms race. In the wake of Washington’s abandonment of global leadership and the rules-based international order, this race blurs the line between cold and hot confrontation in the new 21st-century world of three continental blocs.

As a result, it is harder than ever to ascertain what peace means nowadays.
