You're right, but perspective is important, and that's because China and the US are engaged in economic warfare (even before the current US regime), vying for the dubious title of "superpower".

I find it hard to believe anyone who has ever done business inside China doesn’t know that the structure of Chinese business is built around massive IP theft and repurposing on a state wide systematic level. It’s not a nationalism point, it’s an objective and easily verified truth.

Most code is not P99, but companies pay a premium to produce code that is. That’s my point.

I'll ask you the same thing I asked the other guy. How is a an open weights model that I can run on my own hardware without an internet connection going to exfiltrate my trade secrets to the Chinese government?

It's the same user and they already answered you: "If you read I’m talking about their service only models."

But yes this is a non-sequitor. The original question was "What competitive advantage does OpenAI/Anthropic has when companies like Qwen/Minimax/etc are open sourcing models that shows similar (yet below than OpenAI/Anthropic) benchmark results?"

Even if you don't trust Chinese companies, and you want a hosted model, you can always pay a third party to host a Chinese open weight model. And it'll be a lot cheaper than OpenAI.

Chinese companies are built on IP theft, and Anthropic/Open AI are not?

And in world where code generation costs are trending to zero, goodluck commanding a premium to produce any kind of code.

There is a whole bunch of P99 code that is open-source. What makes code P99 is not the model that produces it, but the people who verify/validate/direct it.
