Recently, Knowledge Atlas Technology JSC Ltd., better known as Zhipu,  was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the world's first publicly listed company with general-purpose artificial intelligence foundation models as its core business. This milestone firmly establishes Beijing at the forefront of the global large AI model race.

Amid the rapid global expansion of the AI industry, Chinese large-model developers are increasingly drawing attention from international investors through three key advantages: a growing presence in open-source ecosystems, competitive model performance, and strong cost-effectiveness. Industry insiders believe that the listing of Zhipu AI marks a strategic turning point, signaling that Chinese AI companies are stepping onto the central stage of the capital markets and entering a new phase of competition with global technology leaders.
