Top Chinese AI models make 10% of OpenAI, Anthropic revenue despite high valuations: report

South China Morning Post - Sep 18, 2026

Chinese artificial intelligence models from seven major developers combined generate only about 10 per cent of the revenue reported for OpenAI and Anthropic, even as investor enthusiasm remains intense, according to US-based research firm Rhodium Group. The Chinese AI models earned an estimated US$10.7 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) from March to August, a fraction of the more than US$100 billion combined for OpenAI and Anthropic, according to the Rhodium report published on...

Forget AI KPIs: how China’s tech giants are rationing tokens for employees

When generative artificial intelligence first swept through China’s technology sector, workers faced a clear directive from management: use AI and use it often. Consuming vast numbers of AI tokens – the basic unit of computing power needed to process text or write code – became a badge of honour, with companies often viewing a high token count as a sign that employees were productive and taking initiative. But those computing allowances are now being sharply rolled back as China’s leading...

Cloudy with a chance of Big Macs: McDonald’s and Meituan launch drone route in Shanghai

Shanghai’s bustling riverfront has become the latest testing ground for urban logistics technology, with McDonald’s and Chinese food-delivery giant Meituan joining forces to launch the country’s first catering brand-exclusive drone-delivery route. Commencing operations last week, the new service allows visitors strolling or exercising along the scenic West Bund area in Shanghai’s Xuhui district to have their fast-food orders ‘airdropped’ directly to designated kiosks, according to a recent...

Trump downplays need to check AI development, says he is unwilling to cede edge to China

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down the need for his administration to check the development of artificial intelligence, saying he worried about ceding America’s edge over China in a global competition and that winning would help address the risks from the advancing technology. While acknowledging the need for some regulation, Trump provided no specifics about potential rules and attributed warnings about the technology moving too quickly and with little oversight to “negative...

The US and China are racing to build ‘self-improving AI’. Here’s what’s at stake

The US-China race for artificial intelligence dominance has entered a new phase: using AI to build better AI. Leading AI companies in the United States and China are increasingly focused on deploying advanced models to write code, design experiments, and develop training techniques that can be used to improve more powerful models. The ultimate goal is to achieve what the industry refers to as recursive self-improvement (RSI) – the creation of AI systems that can train themselves...

Chinese optical transceiver makers dodge US ban for now as FCC updates rules

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has published its final decision on updates to its equipment authorisation rules, easing market anxiety over potential bans on Chinese optical transceivers. The rule, adopted in July and finalised on Friday, tightens authorisation requirements for devices containing certain hardware components made by entities on the Covered List – a US blacklist of foreign technology equipment and service providers deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to national...

Why AI experts are ‘freaked out’ over safety fears ahead of Xi-Trump summit

A flurry of cybersecurity breaches, internal whistle-blowing, and declining visibility into model safety has sparked fresh alarm over the US artificial intelligence boom, igniting calls from some experts to slow down development – even as critics warn that deceleration risks surrendering America’s technological lead to China. The mounting concerns come just weeks before President Xi Jinping and US leader Donald Trump are set to meet for a high-stakes summit in Washington. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman...

With novel chip in Huawei phone, China heads for computing reset

The future of computing has arrived, according to China’s Huawei Technologies. The Shenzhen-based technology giant’s launch this week of the Mate XT 2 smartphone, its first commercial product powered by a processor with a novel architecture, is a public test of the Chinese tech giant’s claim to have invented a new chip design paradigm. It is also its first step to rewiring artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The phone’s chip, the Kirin 9050 Pro, is the first designed according to the...

DeepSeek says new Flash AI model beats Kimi K3 on cyber, coding benchmarks

DeepSeek has released its V4.1 Flash model, claiming it outperforms its previous flagship while cutting inference costs and boosting speeds – the latest salvo in China’s aggressive price-and-performance war. The Chinese artificial intelligence developer said on Thursday that V4.1 Flash used a new “Causal-Encoder-Decoder” architecture. While built on a massive 552 billion-parameter framework, it relies on a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design. In traditional AI, every query runs through the entire...
