The restrictions aren't symmetric at all. Chinese models have government-enforced censorship, while American models have security and legal restrictions.
Legal restrictions are literally government enforced censorship.

Well, you can say that all day long but realistically would your “small startup” even exist if your firm was charged Enterprise rates or the actual compute costs and denied access to capital to subsidize your users? It’s a fair question. The other, more complex one would be “what benefit” are you talking about? Clearly there are some differences in performance regarding speed and token cost, but industry news indicat…
Hallucinations are not really a big problem in day to day work
The only path forward is to get LSD into the water supply at Davos and put on a really scary play about Rokko’s Basilisk for all the money people, or else Sam Altman won’t be able to afford to repair his infinity pool

If some spread the idea that Artificial General Intelligence were achieved, their voice is moot anyway.
Ever since the 1960's we've had AIs that beat aspects of human intelligence. These days AIs are "godlike intelligence" at boardgames, visual recognition, programming (know any programmer, no matter how good, that can get a fluid dynamics simulation from scratch in 2 minutes?), reading comprehension, understanding humans (both speed and accuracy), ... and so on and so forth), and every few years something gets added t…

How does it connect to let's say, vscode. I would love to move away from Claude, but it's really easy to set up. Just add a vscode extension

I think a good test of AGI is whether it can produce a better version of itself or provide the instructions for someone to improve it.
Nowadays I don't understand why you wouldn't use a (more-or-less) nearby hosted Chinese model. You have the security, you have roughly the same performance, and you have an order of magnitude more bang for your buck. Bonus point : the models aren't censored and won't refuse to answer in the middle of your coding session.
The Chinese models are only temporarily cheaper, because they are subsidised the same way that frontier models are. Once those companies need to make money the subsidy will disappear.
