Trump's recent AI executive order sends an important signal—the federal government is taking over AI regulation, and all the various restrictions at the state level will be rolled back, including mandates for companies to modify algorithms and forced data disclosures.

On the surface, this seems like a green light for tech giants, allowing the US AI industry to run more freely. But if you look deeper, there are quite a few interesting opportunities hidden behind this move.

What does the unification of regulatory frameworks mean? Lower corporate costs, faster innovation cycles, and clearer rules of the game for small teams. This is especially friendly for projects focused on reasoning layers and computational optimization—they are right in the middle of compute power and compliance challenges. Once federal rules are set in stone and state-level uncertainties are eliminated, the funding and commercialization prospects for these projects will significantly expand.

In other words, policy simplification may open a window for certain niche tracks. Projects that seize this window could see promising growth opportunities.

Well... basically it's still big fish eating small fish. When the giants' rules are unified, it's actually easier to crush new players. Think about how those projects in the reasoning layer compete with Meta and OpenAI? That's hilarious. But indeed, the financing opportunities in reasoning optimization are here. Whoever can seize this wave of benefits will profit. Federal unification is indeed more efficient than states tearing each other apart... but can the compliance costs really be reduced? I have some doubts. With this policy coming out, it feels like the rich get richer, and retail investors still have to look at the giants' faces.

Wow, the small projects on the infra layer are really taking off now. The pile of crap like state regulations has finally settled down.

Unified regulatory framework? To put it simply, big companies are about to reap the benefits again. Can small projects really enjoy this wave of dividends? Projects at the reasoning layer do have a chance, but it depends on who holds the computing power cards... Everyone says it's a window period, but how many truly seize it, lol. Expanding financing options sounds good, but it seems that in the end, big capital still calls the shots. This wave of policy adjustments is very friendly to the infra layer. Once compliance costs decrease, the difficulty of financing can also be reduced... Alright, another period of competition. Let's see which project first secures a large funding round.

Wow, now small projects really have a chance to turn things around. Previously, they were overwhelmed by state-level regulations, but now with federal unification, costs are down and efficiency is up.

Federal unified regulation sounds nice, but who dares to say it won't evolve into another form of centralization trap? The real opportunity lies in the power vacuum. Once the rules are fixed, flexibility is also dead. This wave of dividends will ultimately flow to those with connections and capital. Small teams, wake up. The projects at the reasoning layer are indeed exciting, but don't forget that once the federation changes its stance, fundraising will have to start over. The so-called clear game rules are just the rules for the big players.

The federation unifies the world, state-level cuts, and niche tracks are now thriving.
