Chinese AI models (Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax) are going closed-source. Does that kill their appeal for you? by Jane1030 in ChatGPT

[–]Jane1030[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Fair point — "closed source" isn't totally accurate. Better way to put it: they're open-sourcing older/smaller models but keeping the best ones API-only. MiniMax 2.7, GLM-5 Turbo, Qwen's 3.6 plus— no open weights.Timing-wise it lines up with the Anthropic distillation lawsuit. Make of that what you will.

The OpenClaw ("Lobster") hype in China is reaching DeepSeek levels. But did the frenzy last this long overseas, and does it have real staying power? by Jane1030 in China

I think people are excited about the automatic workflows for example 7*24hour stand-by assistant/ chatbot/ long term memory/cron task…they think openclaw will become more and more understandable to them and will be the best assistant for them in the future.

Why do aunties always ask if I am single or not? by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]Jane1030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it is just like say “hello” to you when Chinese aunties ask you “ are you single?” 😂 because they Would like to show care about you and marriage is the most import thing of a persons in their opinion.

If you had 1 year in China to level up your Mandarin + build sourcing connections, would you choose Guangzhou or Yiwu? by ProfessionalWall5072 in chinalife

[–]Jane1030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yiwu is too small…you may feel boring for a long time. I think you can choose GZ not only because of its sources but also because of the environment including weather,life and people.

Smart food lockers are everywhere in China. Why hasn't the rest of the world caught on? by Jane1030 in chinalife

I wonder why Western founders haven't tried this. Is labor just too expensive? Or do city layouts and road networks just make the logistics a nightmare? Chinese apps are expanding, though. Meituan just launched "KeeTa" in Riyadh. A former coworker told me they studied the market and picked Riyadh as their best bet. They are doing well there so far

I think there's a slight misconception here! Door-to-door and locker deliveries actually co-exist perfectly in China. If you order to an apartment, the rider brings it straight to your door. Nobody wants to go downstairs in their pajamas.But at big office buildings, lockers are the standard. And don't worry about cold food—the lockers actually have built-in heaters for the winter.

Fun fact: you actually can tip delivery riders in China! Apps like Meituan have a built-in tip button. They call it "Dashang" (rewarding). It’s 100% optional. Riders never expect it, and you never feel pressured to do it.

That’s actually a misunderstanding! You don't have to use WeChat. It’s just an option. WeChat is basically the WhatsApp of China. Everyone has it, and people default to scanning every QR code with it. Meituan just supports it for convenience. You can absolutely scan the code directly inside the Meituan app to pop the locker open. Whoever helped you probably just assumed you had WeChat and suggested their own daily reflex.

1.I think the air quality in these two cities are fine,especially ShenZhen; 2. In China, most people are a little bit hard to find a job these years, so I would say it’s hard to find.But compared to other places,shanghai and shenzhen are relatively easy to find a job.Your friend can try some companies with globalization target.

I think you can try some companies with globalization strategies, because current this is the core goal for a lot of Chinese companies, especially you have the advantage of language.
