China Just Dropped a Real Threat to Anthropic

From the creator

China just released a wave of powerful AI models that puts new pressure on OpenAI. Alibaba’s Qwen3.8 Max reached the top of China’s rankings, MiniMax and ByteDance pushed AI video forward, and DeepSeek made frontier-level AI dramatically cheaper while new research reveals where China’s AI talent comes from. 👉 Join the free Claude Mastery Sprint: https://links.outskill.com/AIREVOLAUG2 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: collabs@nouralabs.com ✉️ General Inquiries: airevolutionofficial@gmail.com 📌 What You’ll See: China releases Qwen3.8 Max with 2.4 trillion parameters SOURCE: https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/alibaba-unveils-its-most-capable-ai-model-date-not-far-behind-moonshots-size-2026-08-03/ MiniMax launches H3 for AI video generation and editing SOURCE: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-minimax-releases-h3-video-model-2026-07-31/ ByteDance launches Seedance 2.5 with longer AI video SOURCE: https://www.businessinsider.com/seedance-bytedance-education-push-study-app-gauth-ai-animations-2026-7 DeepSeek releases an AI model over 100 times cheaper than Claude SOURCE: https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/deepseeks-new-ai-model-is-by-far-cheapest-well-known-models-run-research-firm-2026-08-03/ New research reveals the people building DeepSeek SOURCE: https://www.hoover.org/research/update-deepseek-ai-and-the-great-talent-competition 🚨 Why It Matters: China is no longer relying on one breakthrough company. Alibaba, DeepSeek, MiniMax, ByteDance, and Moonshot are releasing capable models across text, coding, agents, and video while cutting prices and opening more technology to developers. The threat to OpenAI is now an entire AI ecosystem moving at once. #ai #china #openai

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
