(Phnom Penh): The global AI race is intensifying, with the US and China competing across semiconductors, talent, and top-performing models.

This graphic compares leading U.S. and Chinese AI models on LMSYS’s Chatbot Arena from January 2024 to February 2025, a platform that ranks models based on user preferences.

US models have long led, but China is closing the gap fast—from a 103-point difference in January 2024 to just 23 points by February 2025, thanks to breakthroughs like Deepseek R1, a compute-efficient open-source model.

China’s AI rise is backed by years of heavy investment, including its 2017 plan to become a global AI leader by 2030. As of 2023, China holds 70% of global AI patents, according to Stanford.
