Domestic large model dominates the global championship for five consecutive weeks.

Overseas users have started to access Chinese AI large models in large numbers, what is the reason that makes domestic AI large models so popular? The domestic large model MiniMax M2.5 has been dominating the global large model usage charts for five consecutive weeks. In the company's headquarters office area, product development personnel showed reporters the intuitive price difference. "The price difference with overseas models that achieve the same level of capability as us may be ten times or more." Cost-effectiveness is becoming the core competitiveness of domestic large models attracting global users. Where does this cost-effectiveness come from? The first key factor is technological innovation, by innovating in the underlying architecture, the inference cost is fundamentally reduced, in simple terms, achieving the same tasks with fewer tokens. Another key factor is the advantage in energy, industry experts told reporters that currently electricity costs account for as much as 70% to 80% of computing costs. For AI clusters that require millions of cards for parallel computing, the difference in electricity costs projected onto annual operating costs is a staggering number. Stable energy supply and relatively low electricity prices have built a more competitive cost defense line for the Chinese AI industry.
