Xinhua cited data from WAIC as saying that China contributed 1,509 out of 3,755 global AI models, showing rapid progress in the AI race, especially with the open-source development orientation.

Major Chinese tech companies showcased a series of breakthroughs at the event. Tencent launched Hunyuan 3D World Model 1.0, which can create detailed 3D environments; SenseTime unveiled SenseNova V6.5 with superior reinforcement learning performance; Alibaba announced a multimodal model for smart car cockpits, in collaboration with Qualcomm (USA) and Banma.

In addition to software, the domestic AI hardware sector also attracted attention. Huawei first announced the Supernode 384, a high-performance computing system with 384 Ascend processors, achieving 300 petaflops of computing power and 48 TB of high-bandwidth memory – expected to be an alternative to the Nvidia NVL72.

Notably, SenseTime launched a "compute mall" model in cooperation with more than 10 domestic enterprises, allowing developers to choose a combination of computing resources like "shopping at a supermarket".

However, according to Mr. Chen Daliang, CEO of Suanova, the proportion of China's domestically produced computing capacity is still below 10%, due to the lack of confidence and presence of a "domestic Nvidia".

China is also currently leading the world in open-source AI, according to the LMArena evaluation platform of the University of California, Berkeley (USA).

Despite the absence of American companies such as OpenAI and Meta, WAIC 2025 still attracted great interest, expected to surpass the 300,000 attendances of 2024, a record high since its first event in 2018.

Earlier, in his opening speech at the event on July 26, Chinese Premier Li Qiang called for the establishment of an international AI cooperation coordination center, demonstrating his ambition to shape the global AI order alongside developing domestic technology.
