"Chinese AI models are being adopted by US companies and winning praise from tech leaders. China's AI models are quickly gaining traction in Silicon Valley, becoming integral to the operations of American companies and earning the praise of a growing list of tech leaders. Their rapid ascent has highlighted the competitive edge that Chinese developers such as Alibaba, Z.ai, Moonshot, and MiniMax have been able to gain by offering so-called open language models at much lower costs than their rivals in the United States."
"The trend has also cast a critical glare on the US's efforts to stunt China's tech sector with export controls on advanced chips, which have not stopped Chinese developers from approaching the capabilities of Silicon Valley's tech giants. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky generated headlines in October when he revealed that the short-term rental platform had opted for Alibaba's Qwen over OpenAI's ChatGPT, praising the Chinese model as fast and cheap."
Chinese AI models are gaining traction in Silicon Valley and becoming integral to several American companies' operations. Chinese developers including Alibaba, Z.ai, Moonshot, and MiniMax provide open language models at much lower costs than U.S. rivals. U.S. export controls on advanced chips have not stopped Chinese developers from approaching the capabilities of Silicon Valley tech giants. Airbnb selected Alibaba's Qwen over OpenAI's ChatGPT for speed and cost. Social Capital migrated much of its work to Moonshot's Kimi K2 for better performance and lower cost. Programmers reported U.S. coding assistants may be built on Chinese models, and Z.ai said that speculation aligned with its findings.
