Groundbreaking achievements in artificial intelligence continue to shape a new technological reality. China is strengthening its position in global competition by introducing several breakthrough AI models. Their new base model surpasses developments by OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Meta in key parameters, demonstrating first-order reasoning capabilities, processing context volumes up to 200,000 characters, simultaneous work with 50 files, and real-time search across more than a thousand web pages.
The release of the multimodal model Kimi k1.5 deserves special attention, showcasing impressive capabilities across various applications. The model can convert images into structured code, accurately determine geographical locations in specialized games, distinguish between visually similar objects, and perform precise counting of items in images with color recognition characteristics.
Against the backdrop of these technological achievements, Elon Musk’s recent offer to purchase OpenAI for $97 billion, which was declined by Sam Altman, is particularly noteworthy. This offer is especially significant in the context of OpenAI’s planned transformation from a non-profit to a commercial organization. For such a transition, the company needs to buy out its assets at market value, which was initially estimated at approximately $40 billion. However, following Musk’s offer, this valuation can no longer be considered current.
In this context, French President Macron’s decision to invest 100 billion euros in artificial intelligence development is indicative. To grasp the scale of this investment, it’s worth noting that this amount is twice the entire military budget of France, including the maintenance of nuclear submarines and helicopter carriers. This allocation of resources reflects modern realities: while nuclear weapons serve primarily as a deterrent, artificial intelligence is becoming a real tool for governance both within countries and on the international stage.
