Not all R1 experiences are equal, here is a ranking of the top few. Tencent Yuanbao really stands out here.
By 2022, the Chinese ministry of education had approved 440 universities to offer undergraduate degrees specializing in AI, according to (CSET) at Georgetown University in Washington DC. In that year, China supplied almost half of the world’s leading AI researchers, while the United States accounted for just 18%, according to the think tank MacroPolo in Chicago, Illinois.

” As America’s world-leading AI sector approaches artificial general intelligence (AGI), with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) determined to overtake us by 2030, the Trump Administration’s new AI Action Plan can ensure that American-led AI built on democratic principles
continues to prevail over CCP-built autocratic, authoritarian AI.

In advancing democratic AI, America is competing with a CCP determined to become the global leader by 2030. That’s why the recent release of DeepSeek’s R1 model is so noteworthy—not because of its capabilities (R1’s reasoning capabilities, albeit impressive, are at best on par with several US models), but as a gauge of the state of this competition. As with Huawei, there is significant risk in building on top of DeepSeek models in critical infrastructure and other high-risk use cases given the potential that DeepSeek could be compelled by the CCP to manipulate its models to cause harm. And because DeepSeek is simultaneously state-subsidized, state-controlled, and freely available, the cost to its users is their privacy and security, as DeepSeek faces requirements under Chinese law to comply with demands for user data and uses it to train more capable systems for the CCP’s use. Their models also more willingly generate how-to’s for illicit and harmful activities such as identity fraud and intellectual property theft, a reflection of how the CCP views violations of American IP rights as a feature, not a flaw."

Speaking at a Council on Foreign Relations event on Monday, Amodei said that China is known for its “large-scale industrial espionage” and that AI companies like Anthropic are almost certainly being targeted.
I want to be really clear on one thing — I should probably say it even more than I do. When we talk about China, this isn’t about Chinese people
