Chinese AI labs like DeepSeek and Kimi charge a fraction of what OpenAI and Anthropic do for comparable work, and enterprises are adopting cost-reduction strategies like \"advisor models\" (where a cheap open-source model handles most tasks and only calls expensive frontier models when needed), causing usage of Chinese models on some platforms to jump from 1% to 60% in just one year.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["industry"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/cheap-ai-could-derail-openai-and-anthropics-ipos.html","publishedAt":"2026-05-20T17:47:46.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Google","Meta","NVIDIA"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Google","Meta","DeepSeek","Cohere","Mistral","NVIDIA","Databricks","Figma","Kimi","Zhipu","Moonshot","Xiaomi","CloudZero","Artificial Analysis","OpenRouter"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-05-20T17:47:46.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"trivial","impactType":null,"aiComponentTargeted":"inference","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
