In a post published on DeepLearning.AI, the education platform he co-founded, Wu noted that the world\u2019s top proprietary models were still from frontier US labs, while the top open models were mostly from China.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Chinese companies have been launching open-source models in quick succession in recent weeks. Alibaba Group Holding and Zhipu AI rolled out their latest reasoning and video models this past week.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Alibaba claimed its Wan 2.2 video tool was the industry\u2019s \u201cfirst open-source video generation models incorporating the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture\u201d to help users unleash film-level creativity. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Crowds seen in front of the Zhipu AI booth during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai.
