I have 0 sympathy for Anthropic. Their latest models are extremely censored. The Fable rollout was horrible. Their Cyber Access program criteria denies doxxed Americans doing legitimate security work. Anthropic is hostile to their users and hostile to their own country. OpenAI is considerably better on all of these fronts, but still not perfect.

I'm happy to use and support Chinese model developers if it means less censorship and gatekeeping. I have absolutely no dog in this fight, and neither do most American developers. We will use whatever is cheaper and better. Game on.

Chinese models are the exact opposite of what you claim to want, they are all highly censored, even more so than Anthropic models, with government mandated censorship.

Your take does not reflect the reality on the ground. The Chinese models are censored on a narrow range of political topics which have nothing to do with my work. The weights are open and they can be uncensored/abliterated with little effort.

Open-weight models can be abliterated automatically with open source tools though and completely decensored. You can't do that with a closed cloud model.
