I think for the median HN user, the biggest takeaway from this article would be that well-known Chinese open-weight models like Minimax, Moonshot's Kimi and Zhipu's GLM are ultimately minor players in China when it comes to market share. As far as I know, ByteDance hasn't released weights for any of the models in the Doubao Seed series and Artificial Analysis doesn't even rank them, https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/doubao-seed-1-8 but they have the most users.
