Former Tencent AI chief says LLMs cannot beat U.S., points to AI video as next battleground
Concern is growing within China’s AI industry about its competitiveness in large language models, with some firms seeking a breakthrough in video-generation AI. Liu Wei, who led Tencent’s Hunyuan generative AI model team, cited a lack of paradigm innovation and said Chinese companies are copying U.S. approaches in core technologies. He estimated the U.S.-China gap at at least 3 months and warned it could widen to 6 months this year.
