Chinese AI Models Are Months Behind. Buy for Latency, Price, Openness
Artificial Analysis puts China close enough to U.S. frontier labs that model choice now looks less like fandom and more like procurement.
- Treat the U.S. and China AI gap as a months scale, not a years scale, when planning model evaluations.
- Benchmark leaders matter, but production choices should weigh price, latency, openness, hosting, and compliance constraints.
- Keep model integrations flexible so you can switch as frontier competition compresses.
