"Open weights + outside China qualifiers make a model irrelevant" — coding model spat
dannycantalk · x · 2026-10-30
@dannycantalk argues that a model requiring both the "open weights" and "outside of China" qualifiers to be considered good is "a completely irrelevant model — there is never a reason to use it." The remark, aimed at Chinese open-weight models competitive on coding benchmarks like Cognition's FrontierCode, drew sarcastic pushback from @onetwoval.
