Good, good, the message is loud and clear: the US can and will stop any service by any company to any country without prior notice or even consultation with anyone and with zero thought given to the long-term repercussions. Every country is seen as competitor at best, enemy at worst. If you depend on any inputs from the US in any form, this will be noted as potential leverage to be used when opportune.
Worth pointing out the OAI is US based too. And Mechahitler. And Google. All at the whims of US govt
Use em if you must (the OAI honeymoon deal - with generous Codex use being included on basic subscription - is hard to beat) but remember...the cloud is someone elses computer...and you especially don't want mission critical shit on someone elses AMERICAN computer.
OpenCode is probably the best serious cloud competition to the big 4. $10 month.
Latest versions of GLM, MiMO, Deepseek, Kimi ain't nothing to sneeze at

If someone knows better cloud deal, speak up. Else, local Qwen uber alles.
US: Let's not give an edge to China!
China develops its own tools
US: >_<
So...is this Trump getting back at Darius for refusing to build autonomous weapons? I didn't think he had the attention span.
Yes, they found a bullshit hidden test that other models also pass.
OpenAI didn’t get blocked. But they are letting the Trump admin build the surveillance state ABS weapons with their models.
Hah, they overdid their marketing and are reaping the rewards.

Oh, that's weird. My Qwen seems to work just fine 😇
Kidding aside, I actually had a job I started with Fable the other day - specifically renewed so that I could use it.
Guess Opus will have to finish it and then I revert to free.
Truth be told, Fable was nerfed anyway with security theatre.
Good opportunity for ZAI or someone else to gain some ground.
No loyalty to cloud shit. They're all cooked. Use what works.
Its a win for anthropic, they don't have to run the expensive model, but they've already taken everyone's money.
(I have no idea if they are giving refunds, but I'd assume not)
They are. But the reputational cost? Who knows.
Edit: just got an email

Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
