Models like Kimi K3 and MiMo-V2.5-Pro are putting up frontier-level results while staying way cheaper than the big U.S. systems. That combination is brutal for American labs: if performance is close and pricing is better, developers and companies will obviously start moving. This isn’t hype anymore. The gap has shrunk to the point where in some tasks Chinese models are already matching or beating U.S. models, especially when you factor in cost, open-source access, and long-context / agentic workflows. We’re at the point where the AI conversation should stop being “Can China catch up?” and start being “How long until Chinese models become the default choice for a lot of teams?” submitted by /u/repbre
