i like Chinese open weight model that offer cheap token but i only use it for my personal project.

China have a history of stealing IPs/trade secrets and Chinese court favored its own local companies. while US have a robust court that can enforce IPs. if you want to risk your company's IPs/trade secrets/data for some cheap token. Go ahead and use Z.ai's services.

FYI you can use Z.AI models on infra not in China...
