China's Open-Source LLMs Have Quietly Passed a Hundred Billion Downloads

Chinese open-weight models have surpassed US models for the first time, accounting for 41% of all downloads according to the latest Hugging Face report. Cumulative downloads have exceeded 10 billion, with models like Kimi K3 and Qwen3.8-Max leading the charge. These developments arise amid US export controls that restrict access to major Nvidia boards for Chinese labs, driving algorithmic efficiency. Investors favor open distribution as open downloads serve as a cost-effective barrier against closed competitors.
