Russian media: China is ruthlessly breaking the US dominance in the artificial intelligence race!

Despite the U.S. using underhanded tactics, it cannot stop China's progress!

On July 3, TASS published an article by scientist Sergey Surabian.

This confrontation forces other countries to choose between American or Chinese artificial intelligence systems.

Currently, global users, from multinational banks to public universities, are choosing large language models (LLMs) from Chinese companies such as Deepseek and Alibaba as alternatives to American systems.

According to insiders, HSBC and Standard Chartered have started internal testing of the Deepseek model.

The world's largest oil company, Saudi Aramco, recently installed Deepseek in its main data center.

Even major American cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google offer the Deepseek model to their customers.

According to data from research firm Sensor Tower, OpenAI's ChatGPT remains the leading consumer AI chatbot globally with 910 million downloads, while Deepseek has 125 million downloads.

However, like many other industries, Chinese companies offer similar levels of LLM performance at lower prices.

To hinder China's technological advancement, U.S. legislators recently proposed a bill banning all federal agencies from using AI developed in China.

Washington has also restricted Chinese AI companies from obtaining U.S. computer chips, technical know-how, and funding, and has threatened to further tighten sanctions.

Despite the obstacles set by the United States, Chinese AI companies continue to expand into the global market.

China is investing heavily to build an AI industry that is less dependent on the U.S.

While U.S. AI companies are striving for breakthroughs in creating artificial superintelligence, the Chinese AI industry focuses more on utilizing AI to build practical applications, which can help them quickly attract new users.

Leading Chinese AI companies, including Tencent and Baidu, have released open-source LLMs, allowing developers and companies worldwide to easily and cheaply deploy them.

According to Alibaba, its flagship QWEN model has generated over 100,000 derivative models.

A few years ago, the AI sectors of the U.S. and China were closely intertwined.

In 2018, U.S. investors accounted for 30% of the financing in China's AI industry, and a large number of Chinese students entered U.S. universities and Silicon Valley companies. Now, venture capital investment in Chinese AI companies from the U.S. has basically dried up, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Chinese citizens to study and work in the U.S.

Industry analysts say that the lower the dominance of U.S. AI companies, the less power the U.S. has to set global AI standards. This opens a door for the Chinese model, allowing it to emerge as an underdog and rapidly spread Eastern worldviews and Chinese cultural information.
