Goldman Sachs picks its favorite Chinese AI models - CNBC

Goldman Sachs has published a list of its preferred Chinese AI models, according to a CNBC report. The investment bank highlighted three specific models, including Zhipu's GLM-5.2, which it said rivals Anthropic's Fable 5 on several performance metrics. Goldman also named DeepSeek and ByteDance as privately held favorites in the Chinese AI space.

The report did not disclose the specific metrics used for comparison, but noted that Goldman's analysts assessed the models on factors such as reasoning, coding, and multilingual capabilities.

Goldman's picks reflect growing investor interest in Chinese AI, particularly among private companies. The bank's selection may influence institutional capital flows into these firms.
