Chinese AI milestones in 2025: Big models from DeepSeek and others, AGI discussions at Alibaba, US-China chip war swings, Beijing's AI Action plan, and more. DeepSeek led the way with an open-source model, setting off a wave of Chinese companies going open-source. China's push for AGI and involvemen.. read more  

DeepSeek-OCRflips the OCR script. Instead of feeding full image tokens to the decoder, it leans on an encoder to compress them up front, trimming down input size and GPU strain in one move. That context diet? It opens the door for way bigger windows in LLMs. Why it matters:Shoving compression earlie.. read more
