Goldman Sachs says China’s large language model market is moving into a decisive stage, with open-source and open-weight models closing the gap with top proprietary systems while scaling adoption among domestic companies and overseas small and medium-sized businesses. In a 50-page report led by analyst Ronald Keung, the bank examines how Chinese model developers are delivering high performance at lower cost, why they chose open deployment paths, where monetization may improve, and which companies are best positioned for the long run. The report identifies Zhipu and DeepSeek as the strongest names in foundational text models, while ByteDance leads in multimodal applications. Goldman also keeps Buy ratings on MiniMax and Kuaishou. It argues that architecture choices such as mixture-of-experts and sparse attention have helped Chinese developers cut training and inference costs even with smaller parameter footprints and limited access to advanced chips. Goldman estimates China’s AI model API and subscription revenue could rise from RMB 35 billion in 2026 to RMB 879 billion in 2030, with daily token consumption increasing from 350 trillion to 4.6 quadrillion over the same period. The bank also expects the market to shift from fully open MIT-style licensing toward open weights with community licenses and revenue-sharing arrangements, a move it says could materially improve unit economics for model providers.
