Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) technology companies are gaining a growing foothold among international users, with their models topping rankings on some leading industry platforms, ahead of their US counterparts.
Chinese AI companies, with their open-source strategies and cost effectiveness, are gaining growing adoption among overseas developers despite the continued US restrictions on China's access to advanced chips and AI technologies, a Chinese veteran industry analyst said, noting that global AI competition should be about innovation capabilities and the ability to build attractive ecosystems, rather than about who can erect higher technological barriers.
The latest weekly large-language model (LLM) rankings from AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter showed that models developed by Chinese companies swept the top four spots and took six of the top 10, the Global Times noted on the platform on Tuesday. DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 topped the ranking with 9.39 trillion tokens in usage, followed closely by Tencent's Hy3 with 8.94 trillion.
From August 3 to Sunday, Chinese AI models recorded 34.25 trillion tokens in usage, up 21.76 percent from the previous week, while US AI models, although up 109.36 percent, only recorded 9.17 trillion tokens, about three times less than that of Chinese models.
Another DeepSeek model, V4 Flash 0423, came in third, followed by Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.5 in fourth place. Zhipu AI's GLM 5.2 and DeepSeek V4 Pro also made the top 10.
Notably, usage of the top-ranked DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 surged 302 percent over the week. The rankings are based on actual model usage on OpenRouter, highlighting the growing adoption of Chinese AI models among global developers and their strong presence on the platform, Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Zhongguancun Modern Information Consumer Application Industry Technology Alliance, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the latest trending rankings on Hugging Face, the world's largest open-source AI community, also highlighted the growing influence of Chinese AI models among global developers. As of Tuesday, four of the top five models on the platform's Trending Models list were linked to Chinese AI companies, with MiniMax's newly released full modality model MiniMax H3 topping the ranking.
One key reason Chinese AI models are gaining popularity is their combination of strong performance, lower costs and greater openness, Chinese experts said.
"Companies such as DeepSeek, MiniMax and Zhipu AI have released open-weight models that developers can download, customize and use to build their own applications. Many Chinese models also come with relatively low API and inference costs, making them more affordable for start-ups and smaller businesses," Xiang said.
According to UBS estimates cited by media reports, leading Chinese AI models cost about one-tenth as much to train as comparable overseas models, while their API prices are typically only 10 percent to 20 percent of those of foreign alternatives.
"China's strong industrial foundation in power supply, computing infrastructure and data center development also provides solid support for the large-scale deployment of AI," said Xiang.
In contrast to many large US AI companies that primarily offer their flagship models through closed platforms and application programming interfaces, China's are gaining traction among global developers with its open model approach, Ma Jihua, a veteran industry analyst, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
The open model approach allows a much broader range of developers, including smaller players, to participate in AI development rather than leaving advanced AI capabilities concentrated in the hands of a few large companies, said Ma. As more developers build on these models, they can create new tools and applications, further expanding the ecosystem around Chinese AI models, Ma added.
China's recently released Action Plan for Global AI Governance explicitly encourages the joint development of international open-source AI communities, greater international exchanges and cooperation among open-source communities, and the sharing of general purpose large models, foundational algorithms and software tools.
Recently, the US government has ramped up its unilateral moves targeting China's AI-related sector, including a plan to ban cutting-edge Chinese AI models, US media outlets have reported.
The growing influence of Chinese AI models shows that technological blockades cannot hold back innovation and industrial development, Ma said, noting that such restrictions could instead backfire by raising costs for US companies and limiting their access to competitive technologies and global AI cooperation.
Chinese AI models are already seeing growing adoption among US businesses. Chinese AI models now consistently account for more than 30 percent of weekly token usage by US companies, with the share peaking at 46 percent, the People's Daily reported, citing data from a third party industry platform.
The US should view the development of China's AI industry objectively, and avoid politicizing or overstretching the concept of national security in normal technological and industrial competition, Ma said.
"After all, global AI competition should ultimately be about innovation and the ability to build attractive ecosystems, rather than about who can erect higher technological barriers," Ma noted.

原标题：德国自救：拟为能源企业提供670亿欧元贷款担保争取今年内实行电价上限不止是整个欧盟，欧洲最大经济体德国自身也在设法为摆脱能源危机自救。当地时间13日周二，媒体援引知情人士消息称，德国政府料将在本周三的例行内阁会议上批准一项计划，它旨在帮助因俄罗斯切断供应而被迫负担更高成本的能源企业。

二 | 知情者还称，根据该计划，德国政府将利用一只基金，给陷入困境的能源公司也提供贷款担保，该基金本是为帮助因疫情遭受经济打击的企业而设立。德国的国家开发银行KfW将监督这一帮助能源企业的该机制，该基金可用的贷款担保额约为 670 亿欧元（约合679 亿美元）。同在周二，德国总理朔尔茨公开表示，德国将迅速实施电价上限。政府“正以极快的速度推动这项工作，这样我们就可以减轻消费者和企业在电价方面的负担。”政府还在研究降低取暖费用和天然气价格的方式。德国经济部长兼副总理哈贝克在和朔尔茨出席同一活动时表示，本届政府的目标是，在今年底以前，让推行电价上限成为立法。朔尔茨还在讲话中安抚德国工业企业，称政府将竭尽所能解决一切流动性问题。政府已经扩大并延长了对最受影响企业的保护范围，采取措施包括低息的KfW贷款、担保计划，以及帮助能源密集型企业。

三 | 也是在周二，德国研究机构欧洲研究中心（ZEW）公布的9月ZEW经济景气指数从8月的-55.3进一步降至-61.9，创2008年10月以来新低。这一体现投资者对德国经济信心的指标比经济学家预期的-59.5还低，体现了高通胀、高取暖和能源成本对信心的打击。

四 | 欧盟酝酿能源干预方案拟对低成本电价设定180欧元上限整体用电量减少10% 媒体指出，今年4月，德国出台了一项金融救助方案，部分用于帮助抵押品要求过高的能源企业，上述贷款担保计划并不属于该方案范畴。是德国政府新增的扶持手段。上周能源巨头挪威国家石油公司（Equinor）估算，欧洲的能源交易面临至少1.5万亿美元保证金要求，凸显能源危机下能源交易极度紧张、企业越来越无力承担日益增加的保证金要求。欧盟正在研究采取紧急行动给予相关支持。

五 | 华尔街见闻本周一提到，媒体称，欧盟本周将提出的能源干预的重磅方案，内容包括设定削减电力需求的目标、对能源企业征临时的超额利润税、对通过天然气以外能源发电的企业设超额收入上限，有争议的限制进口俄罗斯天然气价格问题推迟再议。

六 | 缓和能源市场因追缴保证金而流动性紧张的问题上周得到了欧盟内部的普遍支持，现在这个问题已经单独研究，不再混入方案内讨论。本周二又有媒体称，欧盟委员会在考虑将可再生能源和核能公司的发电收入上限设定在180欧元/每兆瓦时，还计划提议对石油、天然气、煤炭和精炼行业企业的超额利润征收至少33%的暂时性税费。在用电量方面，媒体称，欧盟委员会目前计划将整体用电量减少10%，同时设定在特定高峰时段将需求降低5%的强制性目标。最终数字需得到欧盟委员会的批准，然后需要各国政府批准。委员会还就能源交易抵押品事宜与银行业监管机构进行磋商，力图限制能源市场过度波动。
