NVIDIA researchers have introduced a breakthrough compression technology called KVTC (KV Cache Transform Coding), designed to dramatically reduce the memory footprint of large language models (LLMs) during long conversations. Key Highlights Why It Matters Industry experts believe KVTC could become as standard as video compression, enabling AI systems to handle ever-longer conversations efficiently and at scale.
In recent years, the focus of AI has shifted from training to inference, and NVIDIA is aiming to reshape this space with its newly announced LPU (Language Processing Unit) chips at last week’s GTC conference. During the event, NVIDIA’s Chief Scientist Bill Dally sat down with Google’s Chief Scientist Jeff Dean for a deep technical discussion. Dally highlighted that the real bottleneck in AI inference today isn’t raw compute power—it’s communication overhead. This leap would represent a massive acceleration in AI responsiveness, making real-time, high-throughput inference practical for everyday use.
Reports indicate that the MiniMax M2.5 large model has held the crown as the world’s most-used AI model for five straight weeks. During a product demo, company researchers highlighted the striking price gap: overseas models offering similar capabilities can cost up to ten times more than MiniMax. This cost-performance advantage has become the core competitiveness of Chinese AI models in attracting global users. Two main factors drive this edge: In short, MiniMax’s dominance reflects not only technical efficiency but also structural cost advantages, positioning Chinese AI models as global leaders in the era of large-scale inference.

According to media reports, the latest data released by OpenRouter, the world’s largest AI model API aggregation platform, shows that as of March 15, China’s AI large models reached 4.69 trillion tokens in weekly calls, surpassing the United States for the second consecutive week. China’s models currently occupy the top three positions globally in token usage. JPMorgan forecasts that China’s AI inference token consumption will grow from about 10 quadrillion in 2025 to 3,900 quadrillion in 2030, representing a nearly 370-fold increase over five years. In the AI ecosystem, a token is the smallest unit of information processed by a model—whether it’s a user query or a piece of generated code, everything must be broken down into tokens for computation....
At the March 19 Spring Product Launch, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun unveiled the company’s ambitious plan to invest at least ¥60 billion (approx. $8.3 billion) in AI over the next three years. Current R&D and capital expenditures have already exceeded ¥16 billion. MiMo-V2-Pro Large Model Team Profile Lei Jun emphasized that Xiaomi’s AI team has achieved in two years what many peers take five to ten years, underscoring the rapid pace of progress. This announcement signals Xiaomi’s determination to become a major player in global AI development, combining cutting-edge research with aggressive investment.
