Download here the latest version 2.9 of the Strategic Memo of The Deal of the Century.

The Strategic Memo of The Deal of the Century is a uniquely in-depth analysis of the feasibility, actionable paths and persuasion case for an extraordinarily bold, timely and proper US-China-led AI treaty, including mechanisms for the durable, fair sharing of AI’s power and wealth.

The Strategic Memo analysis includes: treaty-making models, treaty enforcement mechanism, geopolitics analysis, Trump persuasion mechanism, and 150 pages of profiling of those powerbrokers, and much more.

A key part of The Deal of the Century initiative and drafted by the Coalition for a Baruch Plan for AI, they are regularly updated, addressed, and sent to key formal and informal US AI policy powerbrokers (and influencers) and to relevant White House officials.

Authored by the Coalition's director, Rufo Guerreschi, they benefited from 24 exceptional contributors over 18 months. Targeted key US AI policy powerbrokers include: Amodei, Altman, Kratsios, Wiles, Bannon, Rubio, Vance, Pope Leo XIV, Suleyman, Hassabis, Carlson, Rogan and Musk. The memos examined nearly all pertinent statements made by these influencers including more than 850 articles and videos and over 150 academic papers.

The Memo is meant to play a key role in facilitating the  Deal of the Century Roundtables to be held in Washington D.C. starting in early Q4 2026.
