As the Spring Festival approaches, domestic large models once again usher in a new wave of launches. On February 13th, MiniMax officially launched the new generation text model MiniMax M2.5, once again igniting the pre-Spring Festival AI "sprint race" and joining the competition known as the "Battle of the AI Gods" in the industry. Recently, including Zhupu, ByteDance, Alibaba, and other major technology companies have launched their own "ace products". On February 12th, Zhupu officially launched and open-sourced its new flagship model GLM-5, which is the new model that previously topped the popularity list on the global model service platform OpenRouter, and sparked crazy speculation within the circle, the mysterious model "Pony Alpha." Earlier, ByteDance's AI video generation model Seedance 2.0 exploded the internet with its outstanding abilities such as multi-modal inputs and generating movie-level videos from text/images, attracting global attention. Musk retweeted a comment on Seedance 2.0 and commented: "The model is developing too fast." Director Jia Zhangke also posted on social media: "Seedance 2.0 is indeed impressive, I am going to make a short film with it."
