It's about whether or not their censorship affects you . Their models are censored for the Chinese audience. Meanwhile Anthropic OpenAI etc models are censored for the American audience. So by default you'd be better with one of the Chinese models if you're American.
The restrictions aren't symmetric at all. Chinese models have government-enforced censorship, while American models have security and legal restrictions.

They are both government enforced. The USA administration is using early access and export control restrictions to do their enforcing.
As for the effects: while I'm told the Chinese government is sensitive to some internal political topics, I've never seen it myself. I guess that's because I don't write code dealing on Tiananmen square or similar topics, and I don't know anyone who does. In contrast the restrictions on the USA models are a right proper pain in the arse. Hugging Face being forced to swap Chinese models to defend against the OpenAI GPT attack is a good an illustration as any.
That said, these USA restrictions are a new thing that seemed to start with Mythos - which means around 6 months ago. The Chinese models are (pull number out of the air) 6 months behind, so maybe in 2027 the Chinese models will start behaving like the current US SOTA ones.

#93The 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
Call it "Roko's Modern Life"
I always think that show peaked with the episode about the garbage dump and City Hall.

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…
The old, “it doesn’t matter because AI doesn’t work,” argument. I thought we were past this.
Give me 3 examples of AI succeeding at improving a company/product? All I see is everything getting worse.
