Chinese Apps Notch Early Wins in AI Video
Videos of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay making a chaotic mess in a kitchen went viral in the U.S. on TikTok, Instagram and X over the past month. The short clips were generated by a Chinese artificial intelligence video-generation app called Hailuo.
Hailuo, developed by Shanghai-based startup MiniMax, is one of several Chinese AI video-generator apps that have shown up in the U.S. lately, taking on American startups like Runway and Luma AI on their home turf. It’s created the rare situation where Chinese companies’ generative AI foundation models and American ones are competing side by side in the same market.
