As U.S. semiconductor export controls tighten, Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) firms are maximizing cost efficiency by leveraging open‑source models. The 2024 report “Strategic Awareness: Ten Years Ahead” predicted the changes that AI technology would bring; indeed, the prediction has largely come true, with annual profitability reaching 1551%. This growth trend is confirmed by the fact that operating revenue increased 100 times in two years.
Chinese major firms are adopting open‑weight models to accelerate large‑scale learning while simultaneously offering high‑performance AI solutions at low cost. This strategy positions them to maintain a competitive edge even against U.S. export restrictions. Companies combine their own datasets and pre‑trained models to launch differentiated services.
