👨💻 Top Free Chinese AI Bots
A year ago, DeepSeek showed that China could go head-to-head with American AI startups. Fast forward 12 months, and DeepSeek is now playing catch-up even in its home market.
Here is what to choose instead of DeepSeek:
1️⃣ GLM by Z.ai
This startup specializes in programming models. Their GLM-5 is currently the most powerful open weight model, performing at a level comparable to GPT-5.2 and Sonnet 4.6. The chatbot features a built-in code interpreter, an agent mode, and lots of templates for building websites and simple apps.
Kimi K2.5 is one of the best models for agentic tasks, including deep search, parsing large codebases, and analyzing scattered data. The bot offers handy tools for making presentations, working with spreadsheets, coding, and even has its own environment for deploying the OpenClaw AI agent.
3️⃣ MiniMax AI Agent
MiniMax positions its product as an AI agent for everything, it can even work with files directly on your computer. The company is also developing neural networks for video generation (Hailuo), as well as models for generating speech and music.
4️⃣ Qwen by Alibaba
This bot offers the most generous limits and a huge variety of products. It includes small open weight models for local use, visual models, coding agents, speech generators, and the best AI image editors on the Chinese scene.
