AI INSIGHTS

👑 China Took the Open AI Throne vs. a Vanishing U.S.

A new MIT x Hugging Face study confirmed it: China has officially surpassed the U.S. in the open AI ecosystem. After dominating for years, U.S. labs like OpenAI, Meta, and Google are nowhere to be seen in the top model usage rankings!

• China now leads with 17.1% of Hugging Face model downloads

• The U.S. trails behind at 15.8%

• DeepSeek and Alibaba’s Qwen alone account for 14.2%

• Meanwhile, Google, Meta, OpenAI = 0% presence in the 2024-2025 top charts

• Comfy is the only notable U.S. contributor, with just 5.4%

This data covers 2.2 billion Hugging Face downloads from Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, signaling a complete rebalancing of who drives the open AI world.

China is aggressively pushing open-weight models, while U.S. companies are shifting to closed APIs + product monetization. Meta’s LLaMA 3 isn’t even out. OpenAI stopped open releases long ago. Google’s biggest drops are gated behind Cloud or Pro tiers.

Meanwhile, DeepSeek is shipping fast, multilingual, and extremely usable checkpoints, and Qwen continues to improve its multilingual model suite weekly.

What used to be a U.S.-led open-source movement is now a China-led hardware + weights game. Congrats China.

From Hype to Production: Voice AI in 2025

Voice AI has crossed into production. Deepgram’s 2025 State of Voice AI Report with Opus Research quantifies how 400 senior leaders - many at $100M+ enterprises - are budgeting, shipping, and measuring results.

Adoption is near-universal (97%), budgets are rising (84%), yet only 21% are very satisfied with legacy agents. And that gap is the opportunity: using human-like agents that handle real tasks, reduce wait times, and lift CSAT.

Get benchmarks to compare your roadmap, the first use cases breaking through (customer service, order capture, task automation), and the capabilities that separate leaders from laggards - latency, accuracy, tooling, and integration. Use the findings to prioritize quick wins now and build a scalable plan for 2026.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO AI‑ERA VISIBILITY

From Google, Microsoft, Perplexity: Tips to Boost Your AI Visibility

Remember when ranking on Google meant stuffing keywords and building backlinks? That playbook is too old now. Welcome to the era of GEO - Generative Engine Optimization, where your content needs to speak AI fluently to stay visible.

That’s why big names like Google, Microsoft, and Perplexity just shared how to adapt.

TL;DR: AI search favors brand clarity, structure, and content that’s easy to synthesize. But I highly recommend you to read the details to apply more easily.

P/S: If you've noticed, we’ve been subtly adjusting our own format lately. Here’re the old post and one new post ( did you spot the differences?) Now you know why.

AI BREAKTHROUGH

🧩 ‘Aristotle’ AI Solves 30-Year Erdős Problem

Aristotle, an AI system from Harmonic, has cracked a 30-year-old Erdős problem (#124), and verified it in under a minute. It marks the first real leap into AI-native theorem discovery, a concept Harmonic calls “vibe proving.” Here’s the process:

• Aristotle solved Erdős Problem #124 (open since the 1990s) in 6 hours

• It then verified the full proof in Lean, a formal proof checker, in just 60 seconds

• The model used an upgraded reasoning engine + natural language proof interface

• The solution came from Aristotle’s beta version, not even its final release

Harmonic defines “vibe proving” as:

• AI explores the solution space intuitively (like a human would with creative leaps)

• Then formalizes it with symbolic rigor, ensuring every step is checkable

This blends fluid discovery with hard proof, the holy grail in math. It compresses years of expert work into hours with zero loss of accuracy.

Aristotle already earned an IMO gold medal (International Math Olympiad). It now ranks alongside OpenAI and Google DeepMind in math reasoning!
