Asia Techonomics: Deepseek can do many things - but one simple question exceeds its capabilities
A new study shows just how widely Chinese models are used on certain AI platforms. However, the figures also reveal how new dependencies can arise.
A study by the Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung, a think tank close to the German Free Democratic Party (FDP), found that 58% of AI models used in the EU via certain interfaces in July and August were from China. In Germany, the share was 61%, up from around 15% a year ago. Luxembourg had the highest share at 71%, followed by Croatia and Cyprus at 67% and 65% respectively, while France had a share of 58%.
Chinese providers such as Zhipu AI, Moonshot, Deepseek, and Alibaba have released language models that can compete with leading US rivals, despite limited access to high-performance chips due to US export controls.
