The first quarter of 2025 marks a significant shift in the global Artificial Intelligence landscape, as Chinese AI models began to rival their US counterparts. According to a recent report from Artificial Analysis, Chinese labs have made strides in non-reasoning models, notably with DeepSeek V3 0324 taking a leading position.
The United States still commands the reasoning model domain with its top four spots on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index being dominated by American models. However, as competition intensifies, US labs must contend with rising innovations from China, particularly in open-weight categories.
This evolution in the field is supported by major AI players including OpenAI, Google, and xAI, who consistently push the envelope in terms of intelligence and efficiency. Notably, the introduction of reasoning models has massively influenced AI's problem-solving abilities, while Multimodal AI advancements have enhanced AI's capabilities in processing image and audio data. Recent strides, facilitated by improved hardware and optimised smaller models, have significantly reduced the cost of AI implementation, opening up new opportunities for global AI accessibility.
