Open-Source AI's New Era: Chinese Labs Leading the Charge
With GLM-5.1, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Moonshot AI, Chinese open-source models are reshaping where developers look for capable AI—without subscription costs.
With GLM-5.1, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Moonshot AI, Chinese open-source models are reshaping where developers look for capable AI—without subscription costs.
DeepSeek's Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC) method promises to fundamentally change how AI models are trained and scaled, potentially reducing computational requirements while improving performance.
Open-source AI models like DeepSeek and Qwen are challenging proprietary giants, with Google's Vertex AI now listing Chinese models alongside OpenAI offerings in a remarkable shift.
