On-site visit to China’s AI laboratories: Researchers reveal that the “chip and data gap” is the key to the China-U.S. divide

Nathan Lambert, who conducted in-depth visits to multiple AI labs across China, pointed out that China’s core advantages lie in its culture, talent, and pragmatic mindset. Research prioritizes improving model quality, with students serving as key contributors, and organizations experiencing less internal infighting; however, there are gaps in chips, data, and creativity. External computing power is constrained by U.S. regulations, and low data quality has driven the push to build in-house training environments. Companies open-source but retain core technologies for their own fine-tuning; if the U.S. tightens the open ecosystem, it could affect China’s global leading position.
