Open-Source Chinese AI Gains Ground in the US, Slashing Costs

Chinese AI startups led by Moonshot and Zhipu are releasing cheaper, largely open-source models (K3, GLM-5.2) that are gaining traction in the US, with companies like Coinbase adopting them to cut costs; while not yet matching frontier closed models in every capability, they are close enough for broad use and reflect a wider push for open AI and global competition, backed by China’s export ambitions and evolving US policy.
