China’s not just building AI, it’s building a whole other version of the internet to run it on. In this episode, host Emily Laird take a sneaking step past the Great Firewall to explore China’s booming generative AI scene, where Quark, Doubao, and Kimi (not a band, but they should be) dominate with tools that make Western platforms look slow and sleepy.
