You can check for yourself here to see that China and Hong Kong are conveniently missing. We do see blocking from Anthropic and Gemini as well in some regions
Also even though Vietnam and the Philippines are technically supported we do see blocking from some IP addresses in those regions too
- ericmay 5mo agoI see - I was just curious. Does China permit citizens from accessing American AI models if they were permitted by the American companies?
- weird-eye-issue 5mo agoWell I can tell you lots of them access them no matter what, our service provides a proxy for them if a request gets blocked and lots of AI providers do the same since they access the APIs through a central server without passing along the actual users IP address
- ericmay 5mo agoUnderstood, I was just curious if the CCP blocks Chinese citizens even if they were permitted by the US. It looks quite a bit like the general economic policy of China - block foreign companies and artificially drive pricing down for your products globally. I have yet to see evidence to the contrary but was just wondering
- linzhangrun 5mo agoAbsolutely not, OpenAI is not an organization they can "control."
