Chinese AI models dominated global token usage for 14 consecutive weeks, with DeepSeek's V4-Flash leading in volume and cost efficiency, challenging US counterparts through superior engineering and lower operational costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

AI developers building applications for global markets must reassess supplier choices as Chinese models like DeepSeek now undercut US entrants on cost and inference speed. Lower cost per task creates a strong alternative to models priced high on token usage.
