X user xeophon (18.4K followers) shared his tier list of current Chinese AI labs: A tier goes to Zhipu and DeepSeek; B tier is Moonshot and Tencent Hunyuan ("watch them"); Qwen lands in C tier; MiniMax, Ant Ling, Nanbeige, StepFun, Meituan, and dots sit in D tier. A subjective community snapshot, but a notable read on shifting perceptions of Chinese lab performance.
