## AI overview

This third and final article in a series examines the trajectories of prominent Chinese AI organizations after the January 2025 "DeepSeek Moment." It argues that open source is becoming the dominant approach for Chinese AI organizations, supported by the sharing of models, papers, techniques, and deployment infrastructure. The article highlights DeepSeek, Qwen, and other organizations in the emergence of a collaborative Chinese and global open-source AI ecosystem.

## Source excerpt

This is the third and final blog in a three-part series on China's open source community's historical advancements since January 2025's "DeepSeek Moment." The first blog on strategic changes and open artifact growth is available here, and the second blog on architectural and hardware shifts is available here. In this third article, we examine paths and trajectories of prominent Chinese AI organizations, and posit future directions for open source.
