Chinese Firms Build AI Products Differently
|
6.1
Yilin Zhang, a former Meituan product manager who joined AI startup Kuse, says Chinese AI product development accelerated around 2025 and differs markedly from Western approaches. He reports firms prioritize cost-efficiency, open-source models, and consumer-focused, free mobile chat experiences driven by intense domestic competition and resource constraints. That drives rapid iteration and a growing startup ecosystem favoring entrepreneurship over Big Tech roles.
