China now sits at the center of the global AI story – but from outside, it’s incredibly hard to understand accurately beyond the hype and political perspectives.

The companies move fast, but the model releases don’t always make Western headlines, and most coverage arrives filtered through translation, delay, and someone else’s framing. If you want to actually understand what’s happening this is for you.

We’ll map the ecosystem as it actually stands: the companies that matter, how they compete and cooperate, the thinking behind their approach to building and releasing models, and what’s radically different about how China is approaching AI versus the rest of the world. Why China is building open sourced AI models. We’ll also cover the practical layer – how to actually access and use the tools coming out of China, what’s worth trying, and how to keep track of what’s next, and how to interact and engage with AI in China.

We’ve spent 20 years inside China’s education and innovation ecosystem, including direct relationships with its AI research and industry world. This class is where we, together with some of the best China AI experts and insiders, share that into a clear, current picture – for anyone who wants to understand China’s AI landscape, not just skim headlines about it.

About the class

Over a live class, you’ll build a real working understanding of China’s AI ecosystem – the key companies and policies that drives them, how the models and tools differ from what you already use, and how to keep tracking what’s happening as it evolves. We’ll close with a practical look at accessing and using these tools yourself – highlighting the opportuntiies  and engaging with the tools and ecosystems – labs and companies.
