Replicated this on LM Arena with the strongest publicly available Chinese models.
Deepseek v4 pro-thinking:
If you want expert allocation without doing all the research yourself, funds pool money and distribute it to where it’s most needed at that moment. Examples:
Focused philanthropic funds like EA Funds (Global Health and Development Fund, Animal Welfare Fund, etc.)
Similar results with Qwen and Kimi (maybe slightly less extreme)
They also make sure to mention some EA global health charities alongside traditional Jewish ones under the “How should I think about my tzedakah obligations this year” condition. Didn’t experiment with Muslim and Christian framings but I’d guess similar results given what I tried so far.
Seems like one variable you’re missing is that presumably Chinese models train on different data when it comes to language. Unsurprising Deepseek regurgitates typical English thought when you speak to it in English. How does this change when you speak to Deepseek in Chinese?
I should also mention that presumably the English-mediated answers for charities we favor is less useful for Chinese users actually in China, since China has different nonprofit laws etc so it’d be harder for them to donate to many of our favorite charities anyway. But if the structure of reasoning holds, then hopefully this could help people have better answers.

I might do this in a few days, but in the meantime you or anybody else who speak Mandarin are welcome to try it yourself! :)
Just do it on https://arena.ai/.
