Game maker miHoYo and delivery company Meituan reportedly step up in-house LLM development, joining China's AI model race

Verified (fact)

AI Times, citing a report by The Information on the 9th (local time), said miHoYo and Meituan are stepping up development of their own large language models (LLMs). Both companies want to secure core technology themselves rather than just using outside AI services. miHoYo, the developer of Genshin Impact, is reportedly aiming for China's top-tier AI within the next few years.

Why it matters (interpretation)

In China, well-funded non-AI companies with their own services are joining the model race alongside big tech firms and AI startups.
