The recent trend is towards shorter lag times between OAI et al. performance and Chinese competitors.
Just today, Deepseek claimed to match O1-preview performance—that is a two month delay.
I do not know about CCP intent, and I don’t know on what basis the authors of this report base their claims, but “China is racing towards AGI … It’s critical that we take them extremely seriously” strikes me as a fair summary of the recent trend in model quality and model quantity from Chinese companies (Deepseek, Qwen, Yi, Stepfun, etc.)
I recommend lmarena.ai s leaderboard tab as a one-stop-shop overview of the state of AI competition.
Claiming that China as a country is racing toward AGI != Chinese AI companies aren’t fast following US AI companies, which are explicitly trying to build AGI. This is a big distinction!
