Reading the comment section in this thread gave me a good laugh, no one is buying into this.

If anything, it’s thanks to these Chinese labs that I’m able to have something like glm-5 for 7$ quarterly or kimi k2.5 for 2$ month, while getting results close to Claude. I am grateful. Looking forward to the new Deepseek model.

But one thing that makes me curious is how, lets say, Deepseek is doing this. Are they paying cheap workers to buy subscriptions and chat to gather data? Have they purchased lots of api keys and using automated scripts to feed Claude data and collect the output? How are they doing this?
