LLM price war sees cream rise to top
China DailyA visitor inquires about artificial intelligence-model products during a recent expo in Beijing. GUO HAIPENG/FOR CHINA DAILY The simmering price war among China's biggest artificial intelligence-model builders will greatly accelerate the launch of more advanced AI language models in the country to close the gap with US counterparts, said top executives from leading Chinese AI startups. Zhang Peng, CEO of Zhipu AI, a Beijing-based startup dubbed one of the four new "AI tigers" of China, said that the price war will drive the development of the country's LLM sector by allowing more people to really see them as essential "infrastructure". Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of AI firm Baichuan Intelligence, also believes that such a price war, which is competition-oriented, will drive more companies and individuals to truly use large models. But when the work undertaken by AI large models in the workflow exceeds that of humans, a price war can be avoided on the business side," Yang said.
