Beating AI Express: Over the past few months, the top spot among domestic Chinese AI models has been swapped between Kimi and Zhipu AI. In the latest third-party ranking from Artificial Analysis, Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3 scored 44 and 45 points respectively, while DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 only earned 36 points. Now DeepSeek is fighting back with its V4.1 Flash model. According to official evaluations, among the 16 tests where both models have results, V4.1 Flash won 13 against Kimi K3; in the 13 overlapping tests with GLM-5.3, it took 11 wins.

What’s more, this may just be the start: Kimi K3 is Kimi’s current strongest 2.8T parameter model, GLM-5.3 is Zhipu’s flagship, while V4.1 Flash is merely the smallest model in DeepSeek’s new architecture series.
