# Chinese tech companies progress 'remarkable,' OpenAI's Altman tells CNBC

> OpenAI's Sam Altman praised the rapid progress of Chinese tech companies in AI during an AI summit in New Delhi. He noted that while some areas show remarkable advancements, others still lag behind. Altman's remarks highlight the competitive race between China and the U.S. to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI).

The progress of Chinese tech companies across the entire stack is "remarkable," OpenAI's Sam Altman told CNBC, pointing to "many fields" including AI.

Altman's comments come as China races against the U.S. to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) — where AI matches human capabilities — and roll out the technology across society.

Chinese progress is "amazingly fast," he said. In some areas Chinese tech companies are near the frontier, while in others they lag behind, Altman added.
