It's not even funny any more. Chinese model, Chinese vendor, Chinese, Chinese... Did I say Chinese? Chinese!

Nobody in his right mind will use a Chinese clone when you have models like Opus 5.5 for peanuts.

Yes ...I was so impressed I cancelled my subscription. I could not stand all the winning. I offer cheap hourly rates of $1000 for debugging AI slop.

let a few valley elites decide how humanity can use this technology

open and transparent is the way, China is showing how

I’m rooting for open models, but SOL 6.1 and Opus 5.5 are absolute workhorses on a $100/mo sub. I share your fears, though, and really hope an open model catches up and can somehow compete with the subscription prices of the big 2.

I have workhorse models, spend far less, the model matters less than people like to claim

there's no money long term in being a token vendor

Nobody AMERICAN in his right mind will use... Wait, actually a lot of them will.

But for me, as a non american, non chinese person: I'll use whatever the fuck is the best and cheapest for my task, because that's how fucking Capitalism works.

If that means that a (proclaimed) "communist" country cleans the carpet with the self-proclaimed land of the free: so be it!
