China AI narrows performance gap, cuts inference costs to as little as one-hundredth
Chinese AI models are rapidly narrowing performance gaps with leading Western models while cutting inference costs to as little as one-hundredth, an analysis said. The focus is shifting from top benchmark scores to who can deploy high-performance AI cheaply and at scale. Benchmark results still show U.S. firms ahead, but Chinese models are close. Cost and open-weight strategies are boosting adoption, though political constraints and bias concerns persist.

DeepSeek V4 seen having bigger impact than R1 on strong price performance
China\'s AI company DeepSeek has launched its new V4 models, drawing attention for offering open-source, near-frontier performance at a much lower price than Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.5. The V4 Pro and V4 Flash models were trained on about 33 trillion tokens and post benchmark results close to those rivals. Commentator Matthew Berman said pricing could pull U.S. companies toward DeepSeek, though geopolitical risks remain.
