PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Google's bet on RSI is essentially a pivot to the compounding of R&D efficiency while model rankings fluctuate. It strings chips, data centers, and business scenarios into a validation loop, a card most rivals do not hold. But RSI is vaguely defined and hard to verify, so it will not become a moat anytime soon - it looks more like a long-term wager on iteration speed.
