This Tencent News article says Sora’s been taken down, and Alibaba’s “Happy Horse” (Hugang) is topping the charts—China and the US AI video models are starting to go their separate ways. In the ad placement game, we’ve actually felt this split for a while. The foreign stuff leans more toward artistic expression and wild creativity, while the domestic side is more about commercial use and real-world application.

The output just has a different vibe. With Sora pulling back, local models have definitely seized the chance to rise. When taking client requests, you can clearly feel that homegrown tools respond faster and actually get Chinese cultural references and memes.

“Going separate ways” might be a bit dramatic, but the trend of each ecosystem doing its own thing is real. When you’re taking on jobs now, are you guys still using foreign models a lot?

Honestly, the fact that domestic tools actually understand Chinese memes is a total game-changer.

3

Honestly, clients don’t really care about that floaty Sora-style stuff.

“Parting ways” is a bit much—we’re still copying each other’s stuff.

5

Yeah, the response speed is pretty solid, makes it super easy to tweak things when the client changes their mind.

6

Commercial use is what really matters.

7

I’ve pretty much stopped using foreign models, they’re way too slow.

Oh, topping those rankings? Just take it with a grain of salt.
