I bought 4x Asus GX10 with the 1TB option. I don't understand why, but it's the only model in the whole lineup that isn't priced insanely. They were briefly on sale with a $200-off coupon, but they show up on warehouse deals from time-to-time as well.
~$4000 USD each on Amazon, $175 for the cable.

Compare to the cost of professional-grade tools in other trades and craft hobbies. Sure, $4000 can be a lot of if you're a casual hobbyist or are struggle to meet everyday lifestyle costs, but it's definitely not "insane" if this is the trade you make your living from or if you've established a lifestyle that affords disposable income for your hobbies. And for some people, $4000 for a device you have complete control…
Chinese labs are so used to manipulating benchmarks to try to flatter inferior models that when they finally have one that's really pretty good I think the official announcement here undersells it. https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/ That's pretty solid. Smarter and cheaper than Luna xhigh, not as smart but less expensive than Luna max. Smashes deepseek v4 flash, and even worse it matches v4 pro at a tiny fraction the cost…
How is the business model of Anthropic/OpenAI will sustain?
Broad and perpetual license over inputs and outputs, and even your name and profile picture.
Vague prohibitions on whatever may harm Z.ai’s "interests" or even the "national interests" of any country.
Vague prohibitions on "disturbing" or "inappropriate" content, whatever that is.
Vague prohibitions on discussing Z.ai, even my posting this comment violates it.
Can ban you if you, in the "sole and absolute opinion" of Z.ai, have violated these broad terms, and if you paid for the discounted yearly plan kiss your money goodbye.

Before getting the spark, I was just using a google colab account, their $49 dollar plan allows you access to h100's and I can run qwen there in a Jupyter notebook... and if I really need that web front end I can just use cloudeflair/tailscale/the local ssh client to reverse tunnel it.

I don't see a situation where subscription payers move outside American LLMs (chatgpt, claude, gemini) And I don't see a situation where serious API payers are OK with handing the Chinese state all their data. Like manufactures of decades past did and learned a hard, even existential, lesson for it. The state mantra has been "Collect and Copy" for a long time now, tech just hasn't had that moment to experience it yet…
Because I genuinely can't tell if you mean Google or SpaceX/X.ai lol.
You guys read Z.ai's terms of service, right? Broad and perpetual license over inputs and outputs, and even your name and profile picture.

Another self-inflicted own courtesy of US government policy. While I think China would always get to hardware self-sufficiency eventually, all export controls have done is (1) accelerate China's development, and (2) divert revenue that would've otherwise gone to NVIDIA/AMD/etc instead.
The export controls were revoked before it triggered Chinese protectionism: https://www.silicon.co.uk/e-innovation/artificial-intelligen... / https://archive.vn/B2pah

Nearly every TOS I've ever read has a "We can ban you for any reason, or no reason, are under no obligation to disclose any reason." line somewhere in it.
