Chinese AI video is coming for more than Hollywood
Outside of Alphabet's Google, nearly all of the leading video-generation models are Chinese.
New large language models from China have garnered significant attention in the realm of artificial intelligence, but their prowess may extend beyond Hollywood. According to benchmarking data, video-generation models primarily developed in China dominate the top spots. Companies like ByteDance and MiniMax Group have recently unveiled updated versions of their video-generation technologies.
Prior to this, "Happy Horse," an undisclosed video system created by Alibaba Group, sent shockwaves through the industry. Adding to the mix are Kuaishou Technology's Kling and Beijing-based ShengShu Technology's Vidu, among other startups. This array of formidable players from China is a stark contrast to the lower priority placed on video generation by U.S. tech giants such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
