中国AI竞赛进入深水区，唯有将技术扎根于产业痛点的公司，才能穿越周期，成为最终的"生 存者"。或许当资本泡沫退去，中国大模型的故事才刚刚开始。 仅仅一年前，阿里、百度、科大讯飞、腾讯等大模型纷纷宣布降价，甚至免费。部分权威媒体形容，这是 中国大模型"吹响了竞争下半场的哨子"。还有一个令人热议的话题是，大模型到底要卷什么？ 半年后，深度求索公司先后发布DeepSeek V3和DeepSeek R1大模型，并快速"出圈"，提升了中国在全球人 工智能领域的影响力，并在全球范围掀起又一轮大模型发展浪潮。于是，一场声势更为浩大的探讨在广大 网民中展开，烧钱的大模型如何才能赚钱？ 或许全球关心人工智能的人们都在盯着，谁能拿到更多的订单，这也意味着未来活下来并走在大模型队伍 前列，其股价更具投资价值。 有意思的是，这几日，网络上突然多起来有关大模型"六小虎"变成"基模五强"的帖子。本来还很兴奋，因 为谁都知道，大模型市场只有经过一轮轮洗牌后，剩下来的企业才是更有竞争力。但看完之后，总觉得缺 点什么。 当然，这里并非要讨论这份"基模五强"的榜单是否具有说服力，更非讨论哪家大模型更有代表性。毕竟， 市场是检验一切的真理。需要提 ...
