Daybreak Blue is not bad and the bar to get into OpenAI's program is reasonable.
replyHold on, is there any bar to begin with? For OpenAI's Daybreak Blue, I only had to go through the Persona KYC to gain access. With Anthropic's I had to submit links to my profile and briefly describe my use cases, which I doubt were read by any human being but at least there's some semblance of barrier.
replyYeah, I did say the bar is low :)
replyDaybreak Blue is the not the same thing as Daybreak Red, which has a more significant hurdle. I don't know anyone who has gotten access to Red.
How well it is documented or known that how they use the passport information and so on. Current blocker for EU citizen is to share that data for AI company…
replywhat is the easyest way to use the chinese models and which harness does work with them well?
replyOpenCode harness with their subscription would be my recommendation.
replyBetween OpenCode and Openrouter which one would you suggest? Sometimes I have pure grunt work to be done on non-sensitive data for which I want to use Chinese models. For example, tasks like extracting something from publicly available large pdf files.
replyOpencode Go, with the Deepseek 4.1 Flash model feels like a bottomless pit, which is great for grunt work.
replyopencode with model inference on cheaperinference.com has been working well for me - glm-5.3-flash is shockingly cheap (i've spent a total of a few dollars over several weeks of heavy usage), fast and capable for cyber tasks
