Can folks in China run US-based models? Seems like they should take advantage of this overlap in peak timing.

OpenAI and Anthropic restricted API access for developers based in mainland China, citing geopolitical competition and national security risks.

  • Yes but does China also restrict Chinese citizens from using these models?

    • Kinda, China has the GFW so you need to circument that to access a larger part of global internet. Though that is relatively "easy" than to get a proper working SMS or KYC for Anthropic or OAI.
