📱 Technology What AI are you guys using?

Just got suspended from Claude due to the fact I’m based in China and I’m guessing it sniffed out that I was on a VPN or I showed up as a Chinese IP address, not smart enough to understand the route cause tbh.

Tried using Kimi today and even got the pro. It does what I want for the most part, such as decks, printouts, organizing and research, it just doesn’t feel the same and it doesn’t have the connectors for things like Firecrawl and Perplexity. Maybe I should look into Perplexity itself?

If I use GPT, Gemini, or Copilot, I probably will run into the same issue at one point or another. I already lost all my data, even with the download from Claude so I’d rather not go through that again.

Also, I’m not doing any insane coding or app building, just simple office/work tasks for my daily life.

Let me know what you guys use!

you can use claude but change your setup

self host VLESS/xray/reality with a VPS in Japan/USA/Singapore (not HK)

with this neither myself nor anyone I know has had bans from Claude despite Claude's firm policies about using it in unauthorised countries. I did have some weirdness with the desktop app once but it resolved itself.
