China only six months behind US in AI development
Morning Brew ● Covered by 4 sources
AI researchers estimate China lags the United States by approximately six months in artificial intelligence development overall. Chinese AI models now match capabilities of systems from Anthropic and OpenAI while costing 60 to 90 percent less. This cost advantage and narrowing performance gap could accelerate China's ability to develop and deploy AI systems across industries.
Why it matters
Experts say China is only six months behind the US in AI development, with some Chinese models that rival Anthropic and OpenAI being 60% to 90% cheaper.
