Ask HN: Do you think China will produce a SOTA model in the next 2 years

Hacker News - Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:18am

Recent models like Kimi, Qwen, GLM, Deepseek etc seem to do well in benchmarks but not when actually using them in practise. Do you think they'll be an actual SOTA model by them in the next 2 years? Why/why not?

NOTE: referring to text models

Show HN: 3D Lab Viewer – View Step, STL, 3MF Files in the Browser

Hacker News - Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:15am

I saw Microsoft is deprecating 3D Viewer and removing it from Store in July. I always had trouble checking STEP files quickly - you have to open a slicer or full CAD software just to look at a part. So I built a viewer.

https://viewer.3dlab.id - drag and drop a file, it renders in browser. No signup, no install.

Formats: STL, STEP/STP, OBJ, 3MF, GLB

STEP parsing runs via OpenCascade compiled to WebAssembly (occt-import-js), all client-side in a Web Worker so it doesn't block the UI.

Stack: React, TypeScript, Three.js, Vite. Backend for sharing is Cloudflare Pages Functions + D1 + R2. There's also a Windows desktop version built with Tauri, but not released yet.

Other features: - multiple files in tabs - wireframe mode, ortho/perspective toggle - share models via link (expires in 7 days) - dark/light theme

The sharing is useful when you need to send a model to someone who doesn't have CAD software - they just open the link and see it, no account needed.

Still WIP, feedback welcome. Source code is on GitHub: https://github.com/Goodsmileduck/3d-lab-viewer
