[Indian Media: 'Quiet Shift,' Indian Companies Favor Chinese AI Large Models] Jin10 Data reported on July 15 that an increasing number of Indian tech companies turning to Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) large models has drawn attention from Indian media. 'Quiet Shift: Indian Developers Favor Chinese AI,' read a recent headline in the Indian *Telugu Times*. The article stated that within Indian tech companies, a more pragmatic story is unfolding: faced with the high costs of U.S. AI services, Indian developers are quietly turning to Chinese-developed models that are more cost-effective and publicly accessible. The report cited a specific Chinese AI large model as an example, noting that its input cost ranges from $0.19 to $1.74 per million tokens (the smallest unit of information processed by large models), while its output cost ranges from $0.51 to $5.40 per million tokens. In comparison, OpenAI GPT-5.5's input cost is between $5 and $12 per million tokens, and its output cost ranges from $30 to $54 per million tokens.
