alt Hacker NewsAs they start to release more proprietary models, I so wish that they partnered with one of the major US hyperscalers to allow using these models through something US-domiciled.
Totally understand why it may not be reasonable or in their best interest (and that the US is _absolutely_ not doing the same reflexively). But it would be lovely to be able to try these out on production workloads in earnest.

Alibaba Cloud has data centers in Mexico
fireworks hosts Qwen 3.6 Plus, they might also get Qwen 3.7 Plus.
ChatLLM support QWEN, do you consider this as US safe?
US hyperscalers, all of them, are financially invested in the US AI labs and have the incentives to keep the status quo.
I'm more interested in hearing specific reasons why one wouldn't use a Chinese company. Unless you're thinking Alibaba is going to ship chat logs to some government ministry that will then dole out proprietary information to new competitors (which doesn't seem logistically feasible), or you run a human rights organization, it feels a bit like FUD.
Unless US hyperscalers do the same in reverse, I hope the status quo stays as it is. Either people are happy to share, and the sharing should happen both ways, or US hyperscalers can keep isolating themselves as they've done so far.
