Sorry, how again is this the end of the frontier labs?

According to some benchmarks has the coding capability of Opus at the price of Sonnet, supposedly will be open weights and is not subject to random trade wars with allied states.

Competition is always good.

Well, with the actions of the US government, for every business that does not exclusively operate in the US, they have now added _supplier risk_ to US companies.

Even as a paying customer, even as an enterprise, your access to US models may be turned off at any time for arbitrary reasons, including someone mis-understanding "Please fix this [open source] code" (which contained security vulnerabilities that were fixed) as a jailbreak.

You mean the scale that AWS provides with Bedrock?

[nickthegreek]

Bedrock needs to actually update their chinese models to the newest versions for this to matter.

And they need to support prompt caching, or customers stuck on Bedrock will still find the very expensive models from OpenAI and Anthropic prics-competitive with the Chinese ones.
