Chinese AI models surge in global popularity — and Washington is worried

Summary

Chinese AI models have grown from a small share of usage to a majority on two developer gateway platforms, OpenRouter and Vercel. On OpenRouter they accounted for 57%-67% of tokens in the week of Sept. 14, up from 6%-13% in February, and on Vercel 55% in August, up from 11% in January. Two U.S. House Committees are investigating the impact, citing concerns about economic and security risks.
