Localised Anthropic Claude code now offered to Chinese devs, a new challenger to DeepSeek/Qwen for AI coding. Yet, whether "localised code" truly matches original Claude performance remains unverified. Infra leads will struggle to switch from DeepSeek without clear, localised benchmark gains.
A new open-source documentation project has launched to provide Chinese developers with a systematised guide to Claude Code, featuring critical workarounds for regional connectivity and local model integration.
