On July 9, according to Reuters, OpenAI will block API access in specific regions. Chinese users received an email informing them of the upcoming restrictions.
Chinese domestic competitors like Baidu, Alibaba Cloud, and Zhipu AI have promptly responded, offering bonuses to those transitioning from OpenAI's services.
This situation unfolds amidst the technological competition between the US and China, at a time when there's significant demand for processors crucial for advancing the AI industry.
