Idk what benchmarks you're talking about. There are a lot of them and Chinese models win and lose some of them, but the only ones that really matter long term are cost and efficiency related, given that the trajectory for all models is a kind of singular “peak” performance. Deepseek V4 beats closed source models brutally based on any metric. And it does fine on math/coding/agentic/etc.
I would also say that the open source model is simply more sustainable long term in any competitive environment. Linux dominates almost all infrastructure and the only reason it doesn’t dominate PCs is marketing, cronyism, lobbying, etc. In a few years, what Valve has done with Proton will mean a mass migration from Windows by a significant portion of gamers, while Google’s continued “Appleization” of Android is going to lead to more widespread use of fully open source phone OSs.
As far as “America is behind because of Indians,” this is a kind of “pigs can’t fly because they don’t have wings” argument that I do not understand.
