Baidu has an actual AI lab: https://huggingface.co/baidu https://huggingface.co/baidu So does Xiaohongshu: https://huggingface.co/rednote-hilab https://huggingface.co/rednote-hilab Pretty much every Chinese internet company seems to have an AI team nowadays, however small.
In addition, many Chinese companies are trying to give their programmers access to Anthropic models even though they're legally prohibited from doing so. And that might involve employees using unmodified Claude Code with an ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL pointing to a proxy on the company intranet. In Alibaba's case, I've been told by an employee that they went the extra mile of setting up a hermetic cloud environment where employees could indirectly use Claude Code without ever having it touch their work computers.
- someonebaggy 4mo agoAre Chinese programmers really prohibited from accessing American models?
- yorwba 4mo agoBy the terms of service: https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries
- qwery 4mo agoI think they were asking about the Chinese companies/programmers being "legally prohibtied" from accessing Anthropic's product.
- someonebaggy 4mo agoGGP said "legally prohibited" not "against terms of service" Keep in mind the only law that applies to them is Chinese law, so even if violating a term of service was illegal in America (it isn't) it would also have to be illegal in China to justify the statement.
- VortexLain 4mo agoAnthropic does their best with banning accounts. As the result, shady API reselling market emerges. OpenAI on the other hand doesn't really discriminate based on a country like that (but a VPN is required nevertheless).
- HDBaseT 4mo agoBaidu has been doing some interesting things in the AI space though, the 'Unlimited OCR' model is very good.
