Announcing Artificial Analysis State of AI: China 🇨🇳

For the first time, we are charting the rise of China’s top AI companies to the AI frontier. In this benchmarking report, we map the Chinese AI ecosystem and present comparisons to leading US models.

DeepSeek R1 didn’t happen overnight - we’ve been benchmarking each release over the previous year. One year ago the AI frontier was overwhelmingly dominated by US companies. Today, nearly a dozen Chinese companies have models matching or exceeding current generation models from most US labs.

Key topics addressed:
‣ The great catch-up: Over the past year, Chinese AI labs have mostly caught up to US labs in terms of the intelligence of their released models

‣ Leading with open weights: Many of the leading models from Chinese AI labs, including DeepSeek’s R1 and V3, are open weights. This contrasts with leading US labs whose models are predominately closed source

‣ Regulation: The timeline of US export controls and the resulting restrictions on which NVIDIA chips can be exported to China
