Architectural Choices in China's Open‑Source AI Ecosystem: From DeepSeek R1 to a Hardware‑First, MoE‑Driven Landscape

One year after DeepSeek R1’s open‑source release, China’s AI community shifted from chasing the biggest single‑model performance to building flexible, cost‑effective, and hardware‑aware AI systems. Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) became the default architecture, enabling huge models to run affordably by activating only a subset of experts per request. Multimodal races exploded, with open releases for text‑to‑image, video, audio, 3‑D, and agents, each bundled with full toolchains. Small models (≤30 B) surged in popularity for local deployment and fine‑tuning, while large MoE models serve as teacher nets for distillation. Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses now dominate, removing legal friction and accelerating commercial adoption. A hardware‑first mindset emerged: releases ship with quantization, inference, and serving stacks tuned for domestic chips (Huawei Ascend, Cambricon, Kunlun), and training pipelines are openly documented. The competitive edge now lies in system design, deployment efficiency, and open‑source ecosystem integration rather than raw model size.
