<div id="readability-page-1">BEIJING, Feb 14 (Reuters) - As China prepares for Lunar New Year holidays starting on Sunday, rivals to DeepSeek are scrambling to release artificial-intelligence models a year after it burst onto the scene with its game-changing R1 and V3 models. With DeepSeek set to launch its next-generation V4 model soon, according to tech news site The Information, many other Chinese AI firms have released or are preparing to ​launch their own models in the hopes of stealing the spotlight - or at least ‌avoid being off-guard again during this year's Spring Festival. Below are the companies and models looking to make a Spring Festival splash: DEEPSEEK The Hangzhou-based startup's V4 would replace last year's V3 model, which powered the ⁠AI assistant app that overtook ChatGPT to become the top-rated free application available on Apple's App Store in the U.S. Investors and industry ⁠insiders are also on the lookout for R2, successor to the R1 model. This week DeepSeek fuelled anticipation ‌when its web and mobile chatbot ‌upgraded its &#34;context window&#34; - the amount of information it can remember and handle in a single task, from 128,000 to 1 million tokens, the unit of data processed by the AI model. This means ​the chatbot can now process book-length passages of text to answer a single ‌user command. BYTEDANCE The makers of short-video platform TikTok are soon expected to release an upgrade of Doubao, China's most popular AI chatbot, in terms of active users. Thursday's release of video-generation AI model Seedance 2.0 has generated comparisons to DeepSeek's global ​rise, going viral on Chinese social media and drawing widespread praise on ​X, including from ‌the platform's owner, Elon Musk. Seedance 2.0 can produce high-quality cinematic videos based on a few prompts, or even one. The tech giant released picture-generation model Seedream 5.0 Lite on Friday. ALIBABA ( BABA ) Alibaba ( BABA ), the first Chinese firm to respond to DeepSeek's viral ascent last year, ⁠with Qwen 2.5-Max, is preparing to launch Qwen 3.5. The e-commerce giant's Qwen app is riding a wave of growing domestic usage after ⁠it spent 3 billion yuan ($400 million) last week on a coupon giveaway campaign to promote &#34;agentic commerce&#34;, where AI handles consumers' online shopping. This drove more than 120 million consumer orders in the six days through Wednesday, the company said. ZHIPU Zhipu AI released its open-source GLM-5 model on Wednesday, with enhanced coding capabilities and the ability to perform long-running agent tasks. Zhipu is considered one of China's &#34;AI tigers&#34; - promising startups vying with the U.S. to win the AI race. ⁠Zhipu went public ‌on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last month, alongside rival MiniMax ( MNMXF ), another AI tiger. Both stocks have rallied ‌strongly as investors bet on the companies benefiting from China's AI boom. Zhipu plans a secondary listing in Shanghai, a regulatory filing on Friday showed. MINIMAX ( MNMXF ) MiniMax ( MNMXF ) released ⁠its M2.5 open-source model on its overseas agent website on Wednesday. The company's Hong Kong listing raised HK$4.8 billion ($620 million), higher than Zhipu's $558 million. Shanghai-based MiniMax ( MNMXF ) has developed popular apps like Hailuo AI, a video generation tool, and Talkie, a character interaction app that enables users to engage with AI-powered virtual personas. TENCENT ( TCTZF ) Tencent's ( TCTZF ) Hunyuan team on Tuesday released a low-storage, compressed AI model, HY-1.8B-2Bit, designed to be used on consumer hardware including mobile phones. IFLYTEK iFlytek on Wednesday released Spark X2, trained entirely on Chinese-made chips. The company said the upgrade focuses on practical deployment in sectors including education, healthcare, automotive and agent-based applications. NETEASE YOUDAO NetEase Youdao on Wednesday launched LobsterAI, a desktop-level ​personal assistant agent that can perform tasks such as information retrieval, scheduling and data analysis by executing workflows locally on a user's computer after authorisation. The product supports mobile and PC connections and allows remote interaction via enterprise apps popular among Chinese companies such as DingTalk and Feishu. DEXMAL Embodied-intelligence startup Dexmal on ​Tuesday unveiled DM0, an AI model designed for robot-related scenarios. DM0 ‌integrates multimodal internet data with driving, navigation and robotic operation data, and was trained across multiple robot ​platforms.
