Silicon Valley is quietly running on Chinese open source AI models. Here are the receipts: → Cursor confirmed last month that Composer 2 is built on Moonshot's Kimi K2.5 → Cognition's SWE-1.6 model is likely post-trained on Zhipu's GLM → Shopify saved $5M a year by switching to Alibaba’s Qwen model. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has also said: "We rely a lot on Qwen. It's very good, fast, and cheap." And now Zhipu dropped GLM-5.1, an open source model that performs almost as well as Opus on coding benchmarks. 📌 More on the Anthropic + OpenClaw drama and what I'm learning about AI on the ground in China in my new post: creatoreconomy.so/p/the-all-… Peter Yang (@petergyang) As much as I love using Claude Max and ChatGPT Pro, I don't think these all-you-can-use AI subscriptions will last forever. Here's my new deep dive that covers: → Why Anthropic cut off OpenClaw access → How to run local models on your Mac → What I'm seeing on the ground in China 📌 Read now: creatoreconomy.so/p/the-all-… — https://nitter.net/petergyang/status/2041989206495653915#m
