According to a report by CNBC on July 7th, influenced by the continued price increases of models from leading US AI vendors, Chinese AI large-scale models are rapidly expanding their application scale in US enterprises due to their cost-effectiveness advantage. Industry insiders point out that the performance of some leading open-source and open weighted models in China is currently about 6 to 9 months behind the technology of top-tier US models such as OpenAI and Anthropic, while the price is 60% to 90% lower, and they can cover the vast majority of routine AI tasks, thus gaining popularity among US enterprises. According to statistics from the AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter, since February 8th of this year, the proportion of Chinese AI models used by US enterprises has exceeded 30% weekly, reaching a peak of 46%; while the average proportion in the previous 12 months was 11%.

World Bank: China's economic growth remains resilient
According to Mars Finance, the World Bank released its latest China Economic Brief in Beijing on July 7. The report states that despite facing strong supply and weak demand, as well as global energy supply shocks, China's economic growth has remained generally resilient. The report shows that in the first five months of this year, driven by strong domestic and international demand related to artificial intelligence, investment in China's high-tech industries increased by 4.5% year-on-year. From the export side, strong external demand for China's technology-intensive products supported robust export performance. At the same time, China's technology-related imports expanded significantly, reflecting accelerated capital expenditure related to artificial intelligence and increased demand for components needed for technology-intensive export production. The report believes that despite facing global energy supply shocks, China has effectively mitigated the impact on the economy by relying on diversified energy import sources, a high proportion of renewable energy, and temporary retail controls on refined oil products. The report states that in the medium term, coordinated structural reforms, such as local government debt reduction and the removal of hidden barriers to the private sector, will help address insufficient domestic demand and accelerate the economic rebalancing process. Reducing employment and skills mismatches will help workers better access job opportunities and further support China's economic transformation. (Cailian Press)
