alt Hacker NewsThird world country could be region blocked.
Not sure why this is controversial. I know it’s an issue with Cursor as they have to limit availability of models based on region. OpenAI specifically blocks India and Pakistan for example, among a long list of other countries.

i'm not aware of any service geo-blocked by OpenAI to either pakistan or india
Could u share a link or something?
P.s. found nothing on a google search
Why would anyone region-block a country which gives them a ton of users? OpenAI actually has India-specific plans alongside their regular ones, and I use Claude Code every day with zero problems.
