Scale AI founder writes to Trump: Emphasizing that the United States must win! And expressed his views on the US-China AI track

ALGO CEO Alexandr Wang appeared on the CNBC finance forum program and shared his views on the US-China AI race this year. He reiterated that the US must win the AI race, and emphasized that DEEPSEEK already has 50,000 H100 chips in its lab, surpassing the US. The Trump administration needs to formulate a new AI policy within the first 100 days in office to ensure that the US can continue to lead China in the AI race.

DEEPSEEK has 50,000 H100 chips developing AI

When the CNBC host asked Alexandr Wang whether it is correct that the US has been leading in AI chip technology due to NVIDIA's chips, Alexandr Wang stated that the US used to be the leader, but the US has been restricting chip exports to suppress China's AI development. However, China actually has more undisclosed H100 chips, with DEEPSEEK having 50,000 chips in its lab.

The AI race will be fiercely competitive in the future

Alexandr Wang believes that the Stargate Project will consume a lot of energy, and the competition among large language models is also fierce now, as each model requires a large cloud database. Most importantly, he published an open letter to Trump, suggesting that a new energy plan should be formulated within 100 days to address the power requirements for running AI, and that infrastructure needs to be built to properly allocate technical resources.

On January 22, Alexandr Wang published an open letter on the SCALE website, stating that the US must win the AI war and providing five recommendations.

SCALE AI's five recommendations in the open letter to Trump

On the SCALE AI website, Alexandr Wang published an open letter congratulating Trump on his election and emphasizing that China has caught up with the US in AI technology. He then provided the Trump administration with five key recommendations, hoping that they can be implemented within the first 100 days. He also stated that SCALE is ready to partner with the US government.

Allocate the US AI investment strategy to the right positions

The progress of AI depends on computation, algorithms, and data. Leading tech companies have recognized this, allocating about 60% of their investment to computation, 30% to data, and 10% to algorithms. The US has allocated nearly 90% of its AI investment to algorithms, which has provided a new benchmark for the Chinese government to properly distribute their investments in the three key AI technologies. The US must also formulate an AI investment strategy to allocate the funding to the right positions.

Build the future AI labor market in the US

According to statistics, by 2030, AI will create up to 50 million new jobs and generate $15.7 trillion in new global market value. The government should establish a cross-departmental task force to immediately review all relevant regulations to ensure that the future AI labor market can thrive in the US and create more new job opportunities.

Prepare all federal agencies for AI

There is ample evidence that AI can improve government efficiency, decision-making, and delivery. Unfortunately, the main obstacle to realizing these benefits is that government agency databases are not yet optimized to support AI. Although the US government is the world's largest data producer, the benefits to national defense, economic growth, healthcare, and operational efficiency have not yet been realized. To address this issue, government agencies should be fully prepared for AI implementation.

Unleashing US Power and Energy to Support the Prosperity of ALGO

Prosperous development of ALGO requires massive power. To achieve economic growth, enhance national security, and improve the productivity of HT systems, the US government must formulate an energy policy to ensure adequate energy supply. Within the first 100 days of the new administration, the new National Energy Commission should launch a proactive energy program to produce the world's lowest-cost energy.

Ensuring Safety Without Stifling Innovation

Attracting top tech companies to thrive in the US depends on the right regulatory framework. The White House should direct agency heads to conduct a gap analysis on the scope of existing HT regulations and where new regulations may be needed. The National Institute of Standards and Technology should be responsible for developing standards and frameworks to test and evaluate HT systems. These actions can collectively create a regulatory framework that can safeguard security without harming long-term growth or national security.
