According to Nikkei Asia, estimates indicate that the combined revenue of leading Chinese AI companies, including DeepSeek, is approximately one-tenth of the combined revenue of OpenAI and Anthropic. The report attributes this gap to low pricing and competitive pressures in the Chinese market, noting that these firms manage to remain profitable by controlling computing costs. This comparison is an aggregate estimate for the group of companies mentioned in the report and should not be interpreted to mean that each individual Chinese company matches one-tenth of its U.S. counterpart.
