About the creator

Tony Peng
AI observer · Journalist · Communications professional

ChinAI DB is a personal research project built and maintained by Tony Peng — a long-time observer of the AI industry with a background in journalism and communications. Tony is also the writer behind Recode China AI, a weekly (sometimes biweekly) newsletter tracking the latest advances and news stories in intelligent technologies — AI, autonomous vehicles, biocomputing, and chips.

This database exists primarily for research purposes — to give English-speaking researchers, investors, journalists, and developers a single structured reference for tracking China's rapidly evolving AI ecosystem. Most authoritative information about Chinese AI labs is published in Chinese; ChinAI DB synthesizes and translates that into one accessible place.

What we track

Data Disclaimer

All pricing, benchmark scores, funding amounts, and valuations are sourced from public company announcements, tech media reporting, and developer documentation. They are provided for informational purposes only and may be approximate or subject to change.

Stock prices shown are approximate historical ranges — not real-time quotes. Always verify with a live financial data source before making investment decisions. Benchmark scores reflect results at the time of model release and may not account for subsequent updates.

This database is independently maintained and has no affiliation with any of the companies listed. Information is updated manually on a best-effort basis.
