Hollywood movies suck like their AI models. Supergirl (2026) the movie only made USD 1 million so far over 6 days since airing in China. They keep recycling the stale costume design.

Just for fun, this is the first time I used an AI image generator (zimage.run no account on web browser).

Deepseek to develop own AI chips. Translation: NVidia is banned and Huawei chips suck. (They learned real fast after one delayed release using Huawei chips -- they even sent a Huawei team to help them and that done jack).

The most disappointing experience I had with Huawei was their WiFi6 router didn't even work in a small home setting (no range/frequent connection drops). To me ppl who purchase Huawei are just as foolish as ppl who buy Apple or Tesla -- they all make overpriced junk!

Chinese AI models are gaining ground with U.S. companies as OpenAI, Anthropic costs surge

Recent model releases from Chinese companies including DeepSeek and Z.ai are seen by many as highly competitive compared to leading U.S. frontier systems.

Chinese-built AI models are gaining traction among U.S. companies as they narrow the performance gap with leading American rivals while remaining significantly cheaper to use.

Recent model releases from Chinese companies, including DeepSeek and Z.ai, are seen by many as highly competitive compared to leading frontier systems from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI. Those advances in capability come as token prices for the most advanced models rise at many U.S. AI labs, leaving companies grappling with unexpectedly high costs associated with using the tech.

The share of tokens used by U.S. companies on Chinese AI models via OpenRouter — a platform that enables developers to access a range of AI models — has sat above 30% each week since Feb. 8, with that figure rising as high at 46%. The average across the previous 12 months was just 11%, falling to 4.5% in the first half of 2025.
