|
|
|
Chinese artificial intelligence developers could start charging cloud platforms commercial licensing fees to host their open-weight models, according to the head of Asia internet research at Goldman Sachs, as firms look to capture more revenue from their soaring global use.
The assessment comes as Chinese AI models – such as Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and Zhipu AI's GLM-5.2 – have reached performance levels just a fraction behind top US rivals.

The Seoul High Court's First Family Division, presiding judge Lee Sang-ju, issued the ruling on Friday, nine years after Chey filed for divorce mediation in 2017. The court ordered the money paid in cash with 5 percent annual interest from the day after the judgment becomes final, and declined to hand over any stock, citing the role Chey's shares play in his control of the group, according to the WSJ. Neither side has said whether it will appeal again.
Chey did not attend. He was in California, accompanying President Lee Jae-myung on...
