Soon, a Chinese lab will develop an AI model with capabilities on par with Anthropic’s Claude Mythos. Reuters, on July 7, reported that Chinese regulators were considering “potentially restricting overseas access to China’s most advanced AI models.” For all we know, the real Chinese Mythos may come from Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, or from any other lab. Before, some companies like Uber Eats, Siemens, and Shopify had already begun to integrate Chinese models in their workflow. Below the paywall, results from when Jordan burned $500 in tokens over the weekend to ask the leading Chinese and American models how they think Beijing will react to China’s Mythos moment.
