35% Chance
The Xi state visit produces a limited but credible U.S.-China AI safety framework focused on model testing, incident reporting, and military-use guardrails. This is the most likely constructive outcome because it builds directly on the September 18 agreement that AI needs guardrails without requiring a rollback of export controls.
