This is because the users are training the product. They need training data, so they sell inference at the price of power.

I wonder how much of DeepSeek and Xiaomi's pricing cuts can be traced back to cheap energy in China.

In China the state and corporations can blend so it's difficult to tell the difference between the two. It is known for government sponsored dumping to meet some state goal or another.

This runs counter to the last 50 years of American propaganda espousing the inefficiency of government. If the Chinese government can just throw money at industries and have them flourish, why can't other governments?

ChatGPT (the setting is shared with Codex) and Claude (shared with Claude Code) also have sharing enabled by default, so why aren't they cheaper?

They are? They give away thousands of dollars via subs.

The Chinese economy is deeply weird from a western perspective. Culture and economics are not orthogonal.

Any government can and does regularly throw money at industries to make them flourish. The American propaganda claims that this is less efficient than letting market forces decide which companies win.

I believe it is more complicated than simply “throwing money at industries”. It seems to me that in China, the Government actually runs the country, while in the US, private capital does.

it's not that huge of a deal if you compare commercial costs in china and cheapest us states, and electricity is only one of the factors.

The real reason: anthropic + openai just cut the reasoning output to prevent distill, and hence you see the rise of chinese models to establish contracts globally .

There's evidence various third-party models (including Deepseek) used distilling in training, based on models from those leading services. So they have more flexibility with pricing.

Highly recommend everyone check out Breakneck. Felt like that gave me my first real insight into the relationship of the government and business in China.
