Many F500 are already using Chinese models or models derived from them through American providers. Even Microsoft's Decision-1 Jev-like:

Cursor's models most famously are built on top of Kimi:

    > Cursor’s vice president of developer education Lee Robinson soon acknowledged, “Yep, Composer 2 started from an open-source base!” But he said, “Only ~1/4 of the compute spent on the final model came from the base, the rest is from our training.” As a result, he said Composer 2’s performance on various benchmarks is “very different” from Kimi’s.
So yeah, Chinese open weight models are already in F500.
