HN desperately wants Chinese AI to be competitive so there's a lot of self delusion and wishful thinking going on.

I use Deepseek 4.1 almost every day as well, it's nowhere close

There's an interesting contradiction in your comment: either the Chinese models are competitive, or you wouldn't be using it!

maybe it's the combination of both? the _could_ have a judgment backed by firsthand experience for example...woah, I know!

It's not like rooting for a favorite football team. double woah!

Why would they use it if it's not competitive in some way though?
