Chinese AI start-up ModelBest has kicked off its pre-IPO tutoring process for a mainland listing, guided by Citic Securities, paving the way for a potential IPO next year.
The company's core strategy focuses on "edge AI," developing lightweight compact models that run locally on devices like smartphones, laptops, and cars. This approach is also seen as a strategic move to overcome China's shortage of advanced computing chips by optimizing systems for domestic processors.
