- Chinese AI researchers from labs like Moonshot AI and DeepSeek are increasingly joining X to participate in global AI discussions and share their work.
- X offers a better community for technical AI discussions compared to Chinese platforms like Zhihu and Xiaohongshu, which suffer from low-quality content and gossip.
- The viral success of DeepSeek's R1 model in early 2025 prompted many Chinese researchers to join X and build international branding.
- Chinese researchers help fill a gap left by Western researchers who are now more cautious about sharing internal details from large companies.
- Using X benefits Chinese AI companies by boosting their profiles, attracting talent, and providing direct feedback from a global audience.
- Chinese AI experts explaining their work on X reduces blind speculation and fosters better understanding of China's AI industry.
