Understanding the US China AI and Quantum Landscape
AI and quantum are usually reported as a US–China race. The more useful story is two different systems — frontier capital versus open-source scale — entangled through shared chokepoints. Shayne Heffernan maps the landscape with the KXCO AI Sector Ontology, with comparison graphics and the investable names.

USA vs China: The AI and Quantum Scorecard
The US still leads AI models and chips by a whisker; China leads power and open-weight models outright. Shayne Heffernan scores the four races that will decide the decade.
