The Story Picture this: A Meta AI core team meeting wraps up, and suddenly the room transforms. The whiteboard markers are put away, laptops close, and - bam - half the room seamlessly switches to Chinese, leaving non-Chinese colleagues standing there looking like they just missed the punchline of a joke everyone else heard. This isn’t a rare occurrence anymore. It’s happening at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and basically every serious AI lab worth its compute budget.
