China’s AI model race is drawing companies beyond the usual specialist labs. The Information reports that videogame maker MiHoYo is developing its own large language models, aiming to become a top-tier Chinese lab within the next couple of years.
Why it mattersThe report also says Xiaomi released its latest LLM two weeks ago, while food-delivery and local-services company Meituan unveiled a more powerful version of its model in June. It is a useful sign of how widely AI development is spreading across China’s tech industry. The report gives no performance comparisons, so the size of these companies’ ambitions is clearer than how their models stack up.
Discuss: Will established companies from gaming, phones and online services make serious AI contenders, or will specialist labs keep the advantage?
