It's not that weird. Most companies considering paying Anthropic are probably not considering Chinese models as alternatives. Many don't even realize they exist.
replyThe thing is: availability of near-SOTA cheap Chinese models is forcing OAI and Anthropic to bring prices down and offer more efficient models, instead of simply focusing on super expensive SOTA LLMs.
reply"companies" is a meaningless metric.
replyIf you want to make it about 99% of real world companies, they are all on Gemini or Copilot anyway, nobody is going through legal and procurement to get models from dubious silicon valley startups when you have relations with Microsoft or Google or Amazon from ages because some benchmark is showing some minor digit benefit when vibe coding GTA 6.
I said "most companies considering paying Anthropic", which is not the same as "most companies". I also don't agree that "nobody" is doing this; I have lots of anecdata suggesting otherwise. Maybe the majority of companies are using the easy option of Copilot or Gemini like you said, but it's nowhere near 99%.
replyVibe coding gta 6 haha
replyIs Mimo good? I've never tried it, but I've seen it mentioned three times in this subthread alone. DSv4.1 is my daily driver.
