The CEO and founder of one of China's leading AI startups has warned that a rival Chinese Fable 5-class AI model is closer than even Elon Musk thinks, in a recent X interaction. In a post on his own platform, Musk stated that China's attempt at an AI model to rival Anthropic's new Fable 5 offering will arrive in "Probably Q1," to which Jie Tang replied, "won't take that long."
