Chinese startup Z.ai (formerly Zhipu) just released GLM-4.5, an open-source agentic AI model family that undercuts DeepSeek's pricing while nearing the performance of leading models across reasoning, coding, and autonomous tasks.

Alibaba's Tongyi Lab just launched Wan2.2, a new open-source video model that brings advanced cinematic capabilities and high-quality motion for both text-to-video and image-to-video generations.

This is an interesting commentary on how China & the US are approaching AI development very differently. China and the US are Running a Different AI Race End of the day, business strategies are market-driven

Z.ai launches GeoGuessr Free GLM-4.5, a powerful open-source model cheaper than DeepSeek. Alibaba releases Wan2.2, bringing cinematic-quality video from text or images. China’s AI race is clearly accelerating.
