We don't need Musk for this.

There is plenty of Chinamodels, Mistral and co.

Mistral is trash rn but plenty of OSS models are on the Pareto destribution of performance vs price

  model                     ELO   price
  claude-opus-4-7-thinking  1571  $20/M
  glm-5.1                   1534    3.65
  kimi-k2.6                 1529    3.24
  mimo-v2.5-pro             1479    2.50
  qwen3.6-plus              1470    1.54
  deepseek-v4-pro-thinking  1455    0.76
  deepseek-v3.2-thinking    1368    0.35
In fact it seems the pareto distribution is actually all open source Chinese models except for one spot

Mistral is just not as good, saying this as a European, sadly. I support them and would like to see them get better in their models, for chat especially as that is what I use. Dont use any CC, APIs etc.

I avoid using and buying Chinese things due to the country. That is my view. They will turn on us too.
