Can this be used for fine-tuning models? I have a M4 Pro Mac mini with 64 GB RAM.

I 100% agree with this. I have great respect for Singapore and all the achievements of that country. But I also tell people to be mindful of the fact that it's a city state and an island.

Between OpenCode and Openrouter which one would you suggest? Sometimes I have pure grunt work to be done on non-sensitive data for which I want to use Chinese models. For example, tasks like extracting something from publicly available large pdf files.

The point is to learn good practices from China.

If India is 10 years behind China, that would mean in 2036 India will be where China is today. What's the chance of that happening?

Only an estimated 6 million Indians work in IT and tech services where the money is. India's working age population is approximately 950 million. India had the golden opportunity to bring manufacturing to India when Western companies wanted to reduce their dependence on China. But it wasted it.

I don't know where you are getting that 30% spending on infrastructue.

> I wish that the EU did the same as China did years ago, and that is to block any non-EU tech company from entering the market. We could have had the Google/Meta equivalent years ago.

You can do it even today. But you can't bring back manufacturing from China. You gave them your techology and the market.

If Indians could change their caste officially, everybody would be lower caste. In fact there are often protests and agitations by members of certain upper castes to label them lower caste. See this for an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratha_reservation_agitation

> a little behind China on the same trajectory

In my opinion, India is around 30 years behind China. This is unlikely to change for several reasons. However, the primary reason is that no Indian government ever had a manufacturing policy that comes close to China's. The service economy is strong but employs a tiny percentage of the population.

Most of Indian government spending is on welfare followed by endemic corruption. It leaves very little money for nation building.

I have 5x on both of them. I get way more use from CC than Codex. Actually as we speak, I exhausted my Codex limit twice in the last two days. I am living on banked resets right now.
