Chinese developers are facing challenges as OpenAI blocks access in China, leading to a rush to attract users to domestic AI models. SenseTime, a leading Chinese AI company, unveiled its SenseNova 5.5 model at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, offering features comparable to OpenAI's GPT-4o. In response to OpenAI's block, SenseTime is providing 50 million free tokens and migration assistance to former OpenAI users. Other Chinese companies like Baidu, Zhipu AI, and Tencent Cloud are also offering free tokens and migration services to capitalize on OpenAI's decision. This move by OpenAI comes amidst rising tensions between the US and China, impacting the export of advanced semiconductors crucial for AI technology. While Chinese commentators downplay the impact, there are concerns about the restrictions affecting China's AI industry. The situation is seen as an opportunity for Chinese AI companies to innovate and compete with US counterparts, potentially accelerating their development in the AI sector.

4 comments* OpenAI has not elaborated about the reason for its sudden decision. ChatGPT is already blocked in China by the government’s firewall, but until this week developers could use virtual private networks to access OpenAI’s tools in order to fine-tune their own generative AI applications and benchmark their own research. Now the block is coming from the US side.*
If chatgtp is blocked anyway, there little advantage to allow researchers access but bekng able to monetize.
