> The gap between Chinese models and American frontier models is estimated at 10 months by Anthropic themselves, and it's growing.

#1 I've had use cases where it was clearly obvious the Chinese models were behind.

#2 I've also had use cases where I couldn't tell a difference at 1/20th of the price.

The problem is - the #1 is the use case where American frontier is gated behind saboteur classifiers and is tiny minority anyway. Vast majority of work is #2.

The gap doesn't matter anymore.
