The hype is almost reverse now . With opus , sonnet and haiku 5.5 , why should I care about Chinese models that are so behind ? Also Jev seems like killed a big chunk of deepseek market too .

I personally used it for secondary research agents and classification . Now classification part is gone .

Yeah, OpenAI models now are really at the frontier of high performing, low-cost models: https://artificialanalysis.ai/#intelligence-comparison-tabs

I agree with the author on a lot points about the joys of using low cost models. My work would pay much more, but I prefer to use cheap models usually. Assuming cost correlates somewhat closely with energy used, I feel good about spending as little as possible, and the cheap models are so capable.

I feel the opposite. An agent sometimes work an entire day . The chance of doing that work twice defeats any motivation to use cheaper , less capable models . Also if you open benchmarks leaderboard for the first time in a while there’s almost 0 Chinese models .
