- 5 independent labs (Moonshot, DeepSeek, Zhipu, Kuaishou, Minimax)
- 2 major tech labs (ByteDance, Alibaba)
The author concludes that the combined ARR of these Chinese AI labs is approximately $2.6 billion. While independent labs still trail behind the top two major tech labs, four of them have already secured spots in the global top 25 AI companies by revenue.
