Chinese AI Researchers Are Finding Their Voice on X

Chinese AI researchers are increasingly joining X to share their work and insights, filling a gap left by Western researchers who are now more cautious about posting. Moonshot AI is particularly active, with many employees engaging on the platform, which helps boost their company's profile and foster international collaboration.
Chinese AI researchers are increasingly joining X to participate in global AI discourse, with Moonshot AI being the most active lab. Around 30 accounts affiliated with Moonshot, including cofounders, employees, and former collaborators, actively post about releases, research, and personal life. This trend accelerated after DeepSeek's R1 went viral, prompting researchers to think about international branding. X is preferred over Chinese platforms like Zhihu, which have declined in quality and are filled with AI slop, and Xiaohongshu, which has a less technical audience. The open sharing helps Western audiences understand China's AI developments, and companies like Moonshot benefit from increased visibility and potential collaborations.
