Musk: Chinese AI Models Could Catch Up to Fable 5 Level by Q1 2027

Odaily reported that a user on X asked: "When are Chinese AI models expected to reach Anthropic's Fable level? Zhipu GLM-5.2 has undoubtedly narrowed the gap." Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded: "Possibly by Q1 (2027)."

Regarding Musk's comment, some AI industry insiders believe his prediction is relatively conservative, and the time gap between Chinese and American model capabilities might be shorter than seven months. Previously, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis also stated that Chinese AI models might be "only a few months behind" in terms of catching up with overseas capabilities. (Shanghai Securities News)
