Chinese AI developers are rapidly closing the gap with American competitors and are already taking the lead in the open model sector. This is reported by CNBC.
Hugging Face's CEO, Clement Delangue, stated that China could take the lead in advanced AI technologies by the end of this year or next year.
“At this moment, China is clearly dominating the open model sector,” said the company's head.
Despite the export restrictions imposed by the US, which make access to leading chips difficult, Chinese systems, including the Kimi K3 model from Moonshot, are already very close to the performance of market leaders Anthropic and OpenAI.
Experts believe that Chinese solutions are gradually becoming the preferred choice for developing countries due to their high efficiency and lower cost.
At the same time, the United States continues to maintain an advantage due to powerful computing infrastructure, record levels of private investment, and the ability to attract high-level specialists from various countries around the world.
However, Chinese companies are actively seeking ways to circumvent restrictions by developing domestic semiconductor production and implementing innovative solutions.
In this context, experts estimate that the final outcome of the global technological race in the field of artificial intelligence remains uncertain.
