英国《金融时报》：中国开源AI模型下载量占比首超美国

Core Insights - China has surpassed the United States in the global open-source AI model market, achieving a key advantage in utilizing open-source AI model technology [1][3]. Group 1: Market Position - Chinese research teams have increased their share of global downloads of open-source AI models to 17%, surpassing the 15.8% share of major U.S. tech companies like Google, Meta, and OpenAI [3]. - This marks the first time that Chinese teams have outperformed their U.S. counterparts in this specific metric [3]. Group 2: Development Strategies - Open-source models allow developers to download, modify, and integrate freely, facilitating easier product development for startups and technology improvements for researchers [3]. - In contrast, U.S. tech giants like OpenAI and Google prefer a "closed" strategy, maintaining complete control over advanced AI technologies and monetizing through subscriptions and corporate partnerships [5]. Group 3: Innovation and Talent - China benefits from a large pool of local researchers, enabling its AI teams to be more innovative in model development compared to the fewer independent institutions involved in open-source model development in the U.S. [7]. - Notable Chinese open-source models include DeepMind's "Deep Search" and Alibaba Cloud's "Tongyi Qianwen," which rank among the top in download volume [7].
