Chinese AI models sweep top spots in major rankings as open source, cost advantages drive overseas adoption despite US tech restrictions: expert_我的网站

Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) technology companies are gaining a growing foothold among international users, with their models topping rankings on some leading industry platforms, ahead of their US counterparts.
Chinese AI companies, with their open-source strategies and cost effectiveness, are gaining growing adoption among overseas developers despite the continued US restrictions on China's access to advanced chips and AI technologies, a Chinese veteran industry analyst said, noting that global AI competition should be about innovation capabilities and the ability to build attractive ecosystems, rather than about who can erect higher technological barriers.
The latest weekly large-language model (LLM) rankings from AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter showed that models developed by Chinese companies swept the top four spots and took six of the top 10, the Global Times noted on the platform on Tuesday. DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 topped the ranking with 9.39 trillion tokens in usage, followed closely by Tencent's Hy3 with 8.94 trillion.
From August 3 to Sunday, Chinese AI models recorded 34.25 trillion tokens in usage, up 21.76 percent from the previous week, while US AI models, although up 109.36 percent, only recorded 9.17 trillion tokens, about three times less than that of Chinese models.
Another DeepSeek model, V4 Flash 0423, came in third, followed by Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.5 in fourth place. Zhipu AI's GLM 5.2 and DeepSeek V4 Pro also made the top 10.
Notably, usage of the top-ranked DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 surged 302 percent over the week. The rankings are based on actual model usage on OpenRouter, highlighting the growing adoption of Chinese AI models among global developers and their strong presence on the platform, Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Zhongguancun Modern Information Consumer Application Industry Technology Alliance, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the latest trending rankings on Hugging Face, the world's largest open-source AI community, also highlighted the growing influence of Chinese AI models among global developers. As of Tuesday, four of the top five models on the platform's Trending Models list were linked to Chinese AI companies, with MiniMax's newly released full modality model MiniMax H3 topping the ranking.
One key reason Chinese AI models are gaining popularity is their combination of strong performance, lower costs and greater openness, Chinese experts said.
"Companies such as DeepSeek, MiniMax and Zhipu AI have released open-weight models that developers can download, customize and use to build their own applications. Many Chinese models also come with relatively low API and inference costs, making them more affordable for start-ups and smaller businesses," Xiang said.
According to UBS estimates cited by media reports, leading Chinese AI models cost about one-tenth as much to train as comparable overseas models, while their API prices are typically only 10 percent to 20 percent of those of foreign alternatives.
"China's strong industrial foundation in power supply, computing infrastructure and data center development also provides solid support for the large-scale deployment of AI," said Xiang.
In contrast to many large US AI companies that primarily offer their flagship models through closed platforms and application programming interfaces, China's are gaining traction among global developers with its open model approach, Ma Jihua, a veteran industry analyst, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
The open model approach allows a much broader range of developers, including smaller players, to participate in AI development rather than leaving advanced AI capabilities concentrated in the hands of a few large companies, said Ma. As more developers build on these models, they can create new tools and applications, further expanding the ecosystem around Chinese AI models, Ma added.
China's recently released Action Plan for Global AI Governance explicitly encourages the joint development of international open-source AI communities, greater international exchanges and cooperation among open-source communities, and the sharing of general purpose large models, foundational algorithms and software tools.
Recently, the US government has ramped up its unilateral moves targeting China's AI-related sector, including a plan to ban cutting-edge Chinese AI models, US media outlets have reported.
The growing influence of Chinese AI models shows that technological blockades cannot hold back innovation and industrial development, Ma said, noting that such restrictions could instead backfire by raising costs for US companies and limiting their access to competitive technologies and global AI cooperation.
Chinese AI models are already seeing growing adoption among US businesses. Chinese AI models now consistently account for more than 30 percent of weekly token usage by US companies, with the share peaking at 46 percent, the People's Daily reported, citing data from a third party industry platform.
The US should view the development of China's AI industry objectively, and avoid politicizing or overstretching the concept of national security in normal technological and industrial competition, Ma said.
"After all, global AI competition should ultimately be about innovation and the ability to build attractive ecosystems, rather than about who can erect higher technological barriers," Ma noted.
。 北京8月13日电（记者 韩鹏飞）8月13日，国务院新闻办公室举行“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会，介绍全面推进美丽中国建设有关情况。 会上，生态环境部副部长、国家核安全局局长董保同介绍，“十五五”期间，面对新的形势和任务，制定了生态保护“十五五”规划等，确定了工作目标、重点任务、具体措施，接下来主要是把这些规划扎扎实实落实到位。 生态安全方面，将进一步加强生态监管能力建设，提高发现和处理生态破坏问题的及时性、有效性、针对性。健全生态安全防护体系，建好用好生态安全风险监测预警平台，特别是对敏感区域加强风险监测评估预警。另外，还要关注气候变化、重大工程等引发的生态安全风险，将加强这方面的防范治理，统筹推进生态安全能力建设。 核安全方面，“十五五”期间，中国运行的核电机组数量将跃居世界首位。目前，我国在建是世界第一，运行是世界第二，已经取得运行许可证的机组达到65台，到2030年接近100台，届时将成为世界第一，确保实现高水平核安全的任务将更加繁重。抓好首堆新堆安全监管，确保不发生核事故或者影响环境、群众健康的事件。除了核电站以外，对于核聚变装置、放射源、核燃料循环设施、铀（钍）矿伴生矿，还有核设施退役，都要确保全链条安全，哪个地方都不能出现薄弱环节。另外，要加强核安全科研，对核安全问题做到知其然并知其所以然。进一步加强核安全监管力量建设，提升队伍能力，确保核安全万无一失。 环境风险防控方面，要完善跨区域、跨部门联动的突发生态环境事件应急响应体系，提升应急队伍和技术装备能力，完善应急准备和物资储备网络，确保突发环境事件得到有效处置。版权申明：凡注有“”或电头为“”的稿件，均为独家版权所有，未经许可不得转载或镜像；授权转载必须注明来源为“”，并保留“”的电头。 。
