Beijing, [Date] – The global artificial intelligence (AI) landscape is undergoing a significant shift, with Chinese AI applications rapidly gaining prominence. A new report highlights the growing influence of Chinese companies in the burgeoning field of generative AI.
Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) released its latest Top 100 Generative AI Consumer Applications report on March 7th, showcasing the leading players in the consumer-facing AI space. The report, titled as 2025年全球100生成式AI消费级应用排行榜, features a strong showing from Chinese developers, signaling a potential turning point in the global AI race.
Notably, Quark, the AI-powered search application developed by Alibaba, secured the 6th position on the mobile app ranking. This achievement marks Quark as the fastest-rising and most competitive Chinese AI application on the list.
The a16z report underscores the impressive performance of Chinese AI apps, with five products securing spots within the top 20 of the mobile ranking. Quark’s surge in popularity has surpassed even well-known applications like Doubao and DeepSeek, demonstrating the app’s growing appeal and user adoption.
This success is attributed to Quark’s commitment to developing unique product features and service models, which have resonated with users and garnered recognition within the industry. As Alibaba’s flagship AI-to-consumer product, Quark recently launched a Deep Thinking mode, which goes beyond simply providing answers. This innovative feature analyzes information, facilitates critical thinking, and even assists users in developing solutions.
The Deep Thinking mode aims to enhance the search experience by enabling users to clarify their thoughts, expand their knowledge, and engage in a more interactive and insightful question-and-answer process. By leveraging cutting-edge AI capabilities, Quark is transforming the search experience and ushering in a new era of AI-powered search in China.
This advancement promises to significantly improve information access and decision-making efficiency for users in their learning, work, and daily lives. As the AI revolution continues to unfold, Quark is emerging as a rising star within the Chinese AI ecosystem.
With Chinese AI applications like Quark and DeepSeek continuously investing in advanced technologies such as deep thinking and multi-modal AI, China’s AI industry is transitioning from a follower to a leader in the global market. The future of AI appears to be increasingly influenced by the innovation and growth emanating from China.
