$🇨🇳 CHINA IS ALMOST READY TO UNDERCUT THE WORLD'S BEST AI MODELS. Six months ago, that sounded impossible. Today GLM-5.2 is open source and costs a fraction of frontier models. Zhipu's co-founder says Fable-class Chinese AI comes even sooner than people think. This is the same playbook China ran on solar, on steel, on EVs. Build it cheaper. Give it away. Take the market. If China delivers frontier AI at a fraction of the price, the economics holding up the U.S. AI market start to crack.$

For years, the AI race has been about building bigger models. Sudip Roy, Co-Founder of adaption, believes the next frontier is AI that continuously adapts instead. If he's right, one of AI's biggest assumptions is about to change. Listen to the latest episode of Nebius for Startups podcast: 🎧

🤖🇨🇳 BREAKING: Chinese open-source AI models have crossed 10 billion downloads worldwide. The country is now home to more than 6,200 AI firms. China holds the world’s largest share of AI patents, roughly 60% of the global total. While the West argues about who’s winning AI. China is just shipping, FAST. The AI race is heating up.

IS CHINA WINNING THE LOW-COST AI RACE? China's latest low-cost AI model is raising fresh questions about whether the billions being spent by U.S. AI leaders are sustainable. The development comes as the U.S. continues tightening restrictions on advanced AI chips and technology exports to China, while Chinese firms keep releasing increasingly competitive models.

China and the U.S. are running two very different AI races. While Washington is investing in developing the best frontier model, China is building out a robust electricity grid to power it. Who has the better strategy?

Asked by Ben Smith about how he views the politics of AI and the data center build out, Governor Josh Shapiro says: "AI is being developed. The real question is, is it going to be developed here in the US or in communist China? My view is that all of us should want it developed in the US. The US should lead on this. This is a national security issue. I think this is an issue that threatens our freedom if we allow China to overtake us when it comes to AI development."

stunning developments out of China this Lunar New Year.... new AI models dropping daily, humanoid robots doing lion dances, billions in an AI marketing war The bigger story is that China is building its own chip ecosystem to power all of it

one of the things i love most about the incredible writers of hacks, is how uncompromising they are when it comes to sending powerful messages through the show. like deborah's line, 'art is only art because of the humanity behind it' when she's talking about ai is SO important

$🚨🇨🇳 China could crash the U.S. stock market Not with tariffs With AI MODEL DUMPING The same playbook they used in SOLAR and EVs Make it almost as good Sell it much cheaper Take the market Now they are doing it with AI Open models are getting close to U.S. frontier models But some run at just a fraction of the cost If a company can cut a $100M AI bill to a few million It will switch And that is the real problem OpenAI and Anthropic are not priced like normal companies They are priced like they have unlimited PRICING POWER China is trying to destroy that The AI BUBBLE was never about whether AI works It was about how much companies can charge for it$

America has the edge in the world’s most powerful AI models, no question. But China is playing a different game: efficiency, scale, and global deployment. Kyle Chan from Brookings China explains: "Does winning mean developing the world's most powerful AI models? If yes, then the us has the decisive lead. American ai models are widely recognized as the best in the world on virtually every metric you can think of, from math and reasoning to coding and AI agents, American private companies continue to set the pace at the technological frontier supported by deep capital markets, a dynamic innovation ecosystem, and the best talent from around the world. China's AI models are improving quickly but continue to lag behind. Chinese AI companies face real constraints on compute due to our export controls and their own limited capital resources, so instead they're prioritizing other goals. They're focused on efficiency, building models that are cheaper to train and run. They're focused on adoption using an open source strategy to win users around the world, and they're focused on integration with other platforms and services. On sheer performance, I would expect the gap between our models and theirs to persist or even widen over time. But model performance is not everything."

As AI labs race to train and deploy new frontier models, existing models become more affordable with better tokenomics. ✨ "Everybody's trying to get to the next frontier. And every time they get to the next frontier, the last generation AI tokens, the cost starts to decline about a factor of 10x every year," said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in a recent keynote. Model optimization techniques such as speculative decoding and multi-token prediction, combined with inference serving platforms like NVIDIA Dynamo on NVIDIA Blackwell NVL72 systems, enable AI factories to boost throughput by 10x with one-tenth of the cost per token.

THAT MOMENT WHEN NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS COMMENTS ON CHINA BEATING THE U.S. IN THE AI RACE: “THAT’S NOT WHAT I SAID. WHAT I SAID WAS THAT CHINA HAS VERY GOOD AI TECHNOLOGY. THEY HAVE MANY AI RESEARCHERS. IN FACT, 50% OF THE WORLD’S AI RESEARCHERS ARE IN CHINA. THEY DEVELOP VERY GOOD AI TECHNOLOGY. THE MOST POPULAR OPEN-SOURCE AI MODELS IN THE WORLD TODAY ARE FROM CHINA. SO THEY ARE MOVING VERY, VERY FAST. THE UNITED STATES HAS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE INCREDIBLY FAST. OTHERWISE, THE WORLD IS VERY COMPETITIVE, SO WE HAVE TO RUN FAST.”
