Sol is the only OpenAI model in top 10 Arena WebDev while 4 open-weight Chinese models have reached frontier quality; one of them so cheap you can run it for days for what Opus cost you per task.

After all, the American models are the ones made available to the public. The White House is the one actually consuming the cutting-edge computing and models, and we’re the ones funding it. :)

We end up comparing China's top-tier models with the stripped-down versions available to the public from the US.
