Set aside whether you agree with that TOU / EULA. We can all decide whether the price and terms any product is available for are acceptable to us.

"You're not gonna tell me Chinese are smarter, are you?" No I'm not, but I will say culture does play a massive role, China was not a bunch of roaming tribes living off the land. Turn the clock back a couple of hundred years and it would be peak civilisation. China was literally thousands and thousands of years ahead of somewhere like North Sentinel island.
Calling China a developing country is actually pretty absurd, it's much more like a rebuilding country. GDP was the only undeveloped part because the communist party was terrible at running the economy. Art, science, poetry, fashion, literature, philosophy, culinary arts it was all present and pretty cutting edge up until the communist party ruined things.
It's the same reason Japan, German and the UK bounced back after WW2 except instead of it being war ( Japanese invasion and Chinese civil war aside ) it was self inflicted.
Also I don't think China has escaped the middle income trap. China to this day has horrible wealth inequality and pretty bad social mobility. I actually think this is an intentional strategy they have an underclass of cheap workers for a reason, the government doesn't force a high minimum wage for a reason. Then they have a rich upper class that gets to study in the west and buy a Porsche something that is completely unreachable for the rest of the country.","title":null,"type":"comment","url":null}],"created_at":"2026-06-14T09:39:08.000Z","created_at_i":1781429948,"id":48525650,"options":[],"parent_id":48523926,"points":null,"story_id":48518684,"text":"If it's really as simple as allowing trade with the west then why are many other developing countries either stuck at the middle-income trap or not developing quite as fast as China?

- Ethics. As known, ou American frontier AI companies are incredibly ethical. And I have yet to see any interviews or blog posts by Chinese companies where they talk about how they are ethical, or at least credible HN comments about it.
- Safety. Do they covertly sabotage or at least refuse to answer questions that could help cyber- and bioterrorists in their nefarious purposes? What about ML-related questions that could help terrorists create AI models without guardrails?
- Child safety. This is especially important with "free for all" open-weight models, most of which are Chinese (ever think about why that's the case?). How are we going to do age verification and KYC with models that anyone can just download on their computer?
- Intellectual property theft. How can we be sure that no output of our American frontier AI models was used while training these Chinese models?
Frankly, there's a plethora of other issues I don't have time to get into right now. Personally, I believe distribution of Chinese models in the US should be paused until they are required to submit models to the government for review and evaluation, to make sure they are made to Anthropic/OpenAI standards.
We need legal grounds for that.

They don't have to criminalize the act of downloading open weight models to effectively block access (to foreign open weight models, they have less levers to pull for US based models).
With sanctions and commerce rules though, they can unilaterally prevent all US based businesses from hosting & using them. They will need to be pulled off huggingface, github, gitlab, etc. ISPs could be put on the hook for folks torrenting them as well because technically that could be considered providing serivces to a sanctioned entity. There doesn't need to be monetary exchange.
Likewise, they can use export controls & sanctions to prohibit US companies and individuals from contributing to foreign open source projects as well.

Somewhat. The US Gov can make it illegal to transact with, download, use, etc. foreign open weight models.
Of course, enforcement will be difficult for individuals (businesses will comply by default, and they would all be pulled off Github and other US based hosting locations if they went the sanctions route). But, we are also quickly going down the road of frightening levels of mass surveillance, which could aid enforcement.

\u201c GLM-5.2 is Fully Open, Frontier Intelligence Belongs to Everyone
Today, the sudden restriction of certain frontier models is deeply regrettable. At a time when access to frontier models is abruptly cut off for non-technical reasons, we are even more convinced of one thing: science should be global.
The path to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) must never be enclosed by high walls. We have always believed that AGI should be the cornerstone for all of humanity to collaboratively explore the boundaries of intelligence and solve complex challenges, rather than a privilege monopolized by a few rules and subject to revocation at any moment. In the face of external blockades and restrictions, our attitude is one of radical openness. Frontier intelligence must remain open-source, accessible, and buildable, serving every dedicated developer.
GLM-5.2 is Zhipu's most capable open-source model to date. It not only supports a truly usable 1M context window but also maintains a continuous lead in the independent completion of long-horizon tasks, providing solid foundational support for building complex agent applications. It also continues to be our main engine for creating the strongest domestic coding model.
Tonight at 5:21\u2014at this special moment\u2014GLM-5.2 will officially be available to all GLM Coding Plan users (including Lite / Pro / Max). The API will also go live next week.
A step closer to frontier intelligence for everyone.\nThe future of AI is open, and it is for the people.\nModelKey: GLM-5.2\u201d

Background reading:
https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access
tl;dr: Anthropic supports government centralized government control over models, Amazon produced a probably bogus request to pull down Mythos and Fable, so Trump pulled it down.
It\u2019s probably bogus because no evidence of effective jailbreaks were provided, and also Fable/Mythos isn\u2019t any more capable than OpenAI\u2019s pre-jailbroken 5.5 offering, making it a moot point.
Anthropic can put it back up once they institute citizenship checks for their customers and ban any foreign nationals they employ from using it.
(All of the above according to Anthropic)
I\u2019ll editorialize and say that this is blatant illegal retaliation on the part of the admin, and also that anthropic brought it on themselves with their \u201cthis model will kill us all\u201d Mythos marketing stunt.

Depends on what you look at. Gemma 4 31B without reasoning benchmarks significantly higher than GPT-5.4 without reasoning on artificial analysis. Even the new Gemma 4 12B beats it. And while GPT-5.4 with xhigh reasoning beats the reasoning version of Gemma 4 31B, the question is why you would throw such a complicated task that needs so much reasoning at such a small model to begin with. So if you do coding, you'll probably not have much success with either model. But for actual simple tasks that these models were made for, they are extremely capable.

For me, at work I use opus to plan, brainstorm, grill, ask questions about my codebase, etc. It is pretty good about understanding the codebase holistically and providing architecturally clean solutions that actually work. Then I use sonnet as a plan executor and it does well. Follows instructions and runs tests and just overall does great.
At home I make some toy projects using opencode go (I've standardized on deepseek 4 pro as my opus replacement) but it's pretty obvious from the amount of times I've had to fix or revert a change that broke something that it's no opus. I got similar results with kimi. Have not played too much with Qwen.
So I'm wondering what I'd use to get a similar stack at work. Folks say that this version of glm is basically Jan 2026 opus pre me f. Big if true.
