China's DeepSeek and its peers launched 16 AI models within a single month, according to a report from Nikkei Asia.
The report frames the release pace as continuing despite a warning from Anthropic.
The figure of 16 models in one month points to a high-frequency contest among Chinese developers, who are pushing out dense version updates to win developers and users.
