I am not too uncomfortable with the blatant Chinese model shills here ( I got comment history to prove this), but honestly why is it a problem for kimi or any other Chinese models to have influencers on their list or even payroll?

To me, as long as those influencers are giving truthful and useful information, why should we care whether they are coordinating with the model providers or even getting paid by them?

New comment by nsoonhui in "Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?"

nsoonhui — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 09:12:11 +0000

I'm absolutely bewildered that this is the top comment. 'Pacing the frontier,' if eventually enforced, will only affect US companies, not Chinese companies. How do you even 'pace the frontier' for Chinese models, and why should they agree to it?

China doesn't have a good track record of following signed agreements ( the WTO thing comes to mind), and this whole 'pacing the frontier' concept is even less enforceable than a signed agreement. So I would say that Anthropic/OpenAI called for this not because they thought it would eliminate the threat of Chinese models, but in spite of the risk of being overtaken.

New comment by nsoonhui in "MiMo v2.6"

nsoonhui — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 23:44:57 +0000

I did try to use Chinese open models, but for my production work they simply couldn't cope at all; both GLM 5.3 and Deepseek v4 went into infinite loop and wasted my tokens until my OpenRouter wallet reached 0; good thing I didn't enable the auto topup. US models, by contrast, breezed past them. Even for simpler tasks, Chinese models took long time to complete, and I needed to supervise closely. The price , in the end, didn't come cheap, mainly because too much time wasted on thinking.

So maybe one day Chinese models will squeeze out the American ones, but today is not that day.

So no, I am not excited about Chinese models ( just because its open weight and not American).

It may not have to do with increased revenue, but it does have everything to do with reduced cost, especially developer's cost.

I bet every company is finding up how to level up their employees via AI, so that they can use less of them in the future.

So even without increased revenue, AI has its (mis)uses.

My experience seems to echo some parts of yours: Codex is stingy with tokens when compared to Claude Code.

But Codex is superior when comes to diagnosing bugs ( especially when they involve WPF UI threads), writing tests ( yes, even simulating the form cycles and asynchronous operations) and fixing them.
