@natolambert so why people in china using claude, gpt? you know there are tons of middleman service in china selling cheap codex, claude subscriptions? why are they still using cuda to train model? stop the propaganda. LOL you know nothing about it except love to work there by your privilege
OpenAI:
•opens GPT subscriptions to third-party tools
•ships Codex 5.3 that’s faster and cheaper
•buys OpenClaw and keeps it open-source + funded
Anthropic:
•walls Claude behind first-party apps
•polices ecosystem tools and names
•ships Opus 4.6: higher price, barely noticeable gains
Somehow OpenAI turned into the most consumer-friendly AI company of 2026.
