If a Chinese model can do it for $1-10K, then why hasn't one?

Why have all the mathematical (and now cryptographic) breakthroughs come from OpenAI and Anthropic?

Is it possibly because the Chinese models are so benchmaxxed they can't make novel discoveries?

They're a few months behind the frontier, which, by the way, only started making these discoveries in the last few months.

Don't know if one has or not, but a lack of announcement is not a lack of success.

		Do you really think that if a Chinese model had achieved a significant math breakthrough that it wouldn't be trumpeted to the global media? The "Deepseek moment" was great for China; this would be the same.
