Chinese artificial intelligence platforms are rapidly increasing their share of the global market: analysts estimate that they already process up to 45% of all queries to AI systems.
According to noworries.news, among the key players are MiniMax, Zhipu, and Moonshot - little-known companies outside of China that, according to the analysis, are already competing in traffic volume with the largest American technology corporations.
Experts cite pricing policy as the main growth factor: the cost of using Chinese AI models is 10–20 times lower than that of OpenAI and Anthropic solutions. At the same time, it is claimed that the quality of responses remains comparable to the products of leading Western developers.
This strategy makes Chinese models particularly attractive for businesses and developers who are actively integrating AI into their products and seeking cheaper alternatives to the APIs of American companies.
The rise in popularity of Chinese AI occurs against the backdrop of intensifying global competition in the field of artificial intelligence between the USA and China, where the battle for the market goes beyond the dominance of individual tech giants.
