The article highlights how Chinese AI models are gaining traction due to their lower costs and openness, sometimes being open-source, making them attractive for developers and companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, and Uber Eats.

Europe aims to reduce dependency on both American and Chinese models by fostering its own AI actors, such as French companies Mistral AI and H Company.
