China is watching world sentiment shifting away from USA. Doing many small things that show both strength and openness is surely very intentional.

The US leadership (both government and industry) really seems set on making everyone go with the Chinese competition at this point.

Really? I use claude regularly, and the Chinese models are far behind and feel like a cheap copy.

It's Linux on the desktop all over again. Next year will be its time.

		A lot of folks are finding GLM 5.2, Kimi 3, and Deepseek just fine for their use cases. It does not have to beat US firms, it just needs to be cheaper. I use Deepseek v4 flash for a lot of reviewing and summarizing tasks, only used 4$ in the last two months. No dramatic drop in performance against other US models, it works for my use case. I do use GPT 5.6 Sol for other things but tried GLM 5.2 and it was good enough.
