Summary
Chinese AI leaders said at a Beijing event earlier this year that China remains meaningfully behind the US in frontier AI models, with one executive warning the gap may be widening.
Anthropic reinforced that view this week, with an executive saying the Claude maker’s technology is roughly six to 12 months ahead of Chinese rivals.
The assessments from both Chinese and US industry figures point to rare cross-border agreement that the US still leads in the most advanced AI systems.
