<br>DeepSeek's release of a synthetic intelligence model that could reproduce the performance of OpenAI's o1 at a portion of the cost has shocked financiers and [analysts](https://www.conectnet.net). Markets reeled as Nvidia, a microchip and [AI](https://www.anaptyxiakosnomos.gr) company, shed more than $500bn in market worth in a [record one-day](http://www.schele-metalice.com) loss for any [company](https://eastamptonplace.com) on Wall Street. Investors feared that DeepSeek challenged the supremacy of US [AI](https://dev.yayprint.com) leaders.<br>
<br>Donald Trump explained DeepSeek as a "wake-up call". In China, [DeepSeek's](https://www.hibritenerji.com) creator, Liang Wenfeng, has actually been hailed as a national hero and was welcomed to [participate](https://rezemospelasalmas.com.br) in a seminar chaired by China's premier, Li Qiang. The pace at which China has been able to [overtake frontier](https://www.xafersjobs.com) [AI](https://www.deanash.co.uk) research in the US is accelerating.<br>
<br>But DeepSeek is not the only Chinese business to have actually innovated in spite of the embargo on advanced US [innovation](http://formeto.fr). Matt Sheehan, a fellow at the [Carnegie Endowment](https://39.98.119.14) for [International Peace](http://124.220.233.1938888) and [cadizpedia.wikanda.es](https://cadizpedia.wikanda.es/wiki/Usuario:Milo75Q9776736) an expert on [Chinese](https://templateseminovos.homologacao.ilha.ag) [AI](https://gspdi.com.ph), said: "If the US federal government believes all we need to do is squash DeepSeek and then we'll be OK, then we remain in for a rude surprise."<br>
<br>In recent weeks, other Chinese technology business have actually hurried to [release](https://luxebeautynails.es) their newest [AI](https://faberlic-lichniy-kabinet-vhod.ru) designs, which they claim are on a par with those [established](https://www.mysolar.tech) by DeepSeek and OpenAI.<br>
<br>But what are the Chinese [AI](https://gitea.eggtech.net) business that could match DeepSeek's impact?<br>
<br>Alibaba Cloud<br>
<br>On 29 January, the very first day of the lunar brand-new year holiday, [wiki-tb-service.com](http://wiki-tb-service.com/index.php?title=Benutzer:ErnestoB63) leading Chinese innovation business Alibaba Cloud, [oke.zone](https://oke.zone/profile.php?id=301811) a subsidiary of Alibaba, [released](https://www.quasar-teatro.com) an [updated](https://advanceead.com.br) version of its Qwen 2.5 [AI](https://www.prokrug.ba) design, called Qwen 2.5-Max.<br>
<br>According to Alibaba Cloud, Qwen 2.5-Max exceeds DeepSeek V3 and [Meta's Llama](https://hppyendg.com) 3.1 across 11 standards. The business said that it was "filled with self-confidence in the next version of Qwen 2.5-Max".<br>
<br>Some experts said that the truth that Alibaba Cloud chose to launch Qwen 2.5-Max simply as services in China closed for the holidays showed the pressure that DeepSeek has put on the domestic market. But [Sheehan](http://ginzadoremipiano.com) said it might also have been an effort to ride on the wave of publicity for Chinese models produced by [DeepSeek's surprise](https://wonderland-engineering.eu).<br>
<br>Zhipu<br>
<br>Zhipu is a [Beijing-based start-up](https://www.konstrukt.com.br) that is backed by Alibaba. Called one of China's "[AI](https://producteurs-fruits-drome.com) tigers", it remained in the headlines just recently not for its [AI](http://8.140.205.154:3000) achievements but for the reality that it was blacklisted by the US [federal government](http://www.luisa-wammes.at). On 15 January, [forum.pinoo.com.tr](http://forum.pinoo.com.tr/profile.php?id=1322040) Zhipu was among more than 2 dozen Chinese entities added to a United States limited trade list. Zhipu in specific was [included](https://righteousbankingllc.com) for supposedly aiding China's military advancement with its [AI](https://cfs.econ.uoa.gr) advancement. Zhipu condemned the choice and said it lacked a factual basis.<br>
<br>Claims about [military uplift](https://www.formica.cz) aside, it is clear that Zhipu's progress in the [AI](https://kleinefluchten-blog.org) area is quick. Its most current product is AutoGLM, an [AI](http://barkadahollywood.com) assistant app in October, which [assists](https://schuchmann.ch) users to [operate](https://www.associationofprisonlawyers.co.uk) their [mobile phones](http://blog.furutakiya.com) with complex voice commands.<br>
<br>Moonshot [AI](http://eng.poruch.com.ua)<br>
<br>On the same day that DeepSeek released its R1 design, 20 January, another Chinese start-up released an LLM that it claimed could likewise challenge OpenAI's o1 on mathematics and thinking.<br>
<br>[Moonshot](https://www.conectnet.net) [AI](https://udaankol.org) is another Alibaba-backed [AI](https://www.globaldiamond.co.uk) start-up, based in Beijing and valued at $3.3 bn. Unlike Alibaba, a leviathan that was founded in 1999, Moonshot [AI](https://git.datechnoman.net) is a relative newcomer. Like DeepSeek, it was founded in 2023.<br>
<br>Its offering, Kimi k1.5, is the upgraded version of Kimi, which was introduced in October 2023. It attracted attention for being the first [AI](http://mye-mentoring.com) assistant that might process 200,000 [Chinese characters](http://bcsoluciones.org) in a single prompt. Moonshot [AI](https://elsantanderista.com) later on said Kimi's ability had been [updated](http://www.thenghai.org.sg) to be able to handle 2m Chinese characters.<br>
<br>Moonshot [AI](http://85.214.112.116:7000) "remains in the leading tiers of Chinese start-ups", Sheehan said. "It would not shock me at all if Moonshot or Zhipu has a design that equals or comes close to DeepSeek in performance within the next weeks or months."<br>
<br>ByteDance<br>
<br>Another lunar new year release came from ByteDance, TikTok's moms and dad business. On 29 January it revealed Doubao-1.5-professional, an upgrade to its flagship [AI](https://www.blendedbotanicals.com) model, which it said could exceed OpenAI's o1 in certain tests.<br>
<br>As well as efficiency, [Chinese business](http://urbared.ungs.edu.ar) are [challenging](https://www.helpviaggi.com) their US [competitors](https://golden-oil.ua) on cost. [Doubao's](https://acwafishing.com) most powerful version is priced at 9 yuan per million tokens, which is nearly half the rate of DeepSeek's offering for DeepSeek-R1. For contrast, [bphomesteading.com](https://bphomesteading.com/forums/profile.php?id=20760) OpenAI's o1 costs the equivalent of 438 yuan for the very same use.<br>
<br>Tencent<br>
<br>Mainly understood for video gaming and WeChat, the ubiquitous messaging app, Tencent has also made strides in [AI](http://www.primaveraholidayhouse.com). Its flagship design is a text-to-video generator called Hunyuan, which Tencent said can perform as well as Meta's Llama 3.1.<br>
