Mint Primer: AI power shift: Can China close the gap with the US?

Live Mint  

If Chinese AI lab Deepseek shook the industry with its open-source, budget-friendly reasoning model earlier this year, another Chinese startup, Monica, is impressing many with its new general-purpose AI agentic model, Manus. Chinese artificial intelligence lab DeepSeek disrupted AI with its low-cost reasoning R1 model this year, prompting OpenAI to respond with o3 mini and GPT-4.5. Now, another Chinese startup Monica has introduced Manus, an autonomous AI agent that’s been dubbed the “second DeepSeek moment". Models like DeepSeek, Qwen and Manus signal a shift to high-performance AI at low costs, offering India opportunities to develop cost-effective, localized AI solutions.
