ModelBest
面壁智能
ModelBest (面壁智能) is a Chinese large-model company led by co-founder and CEO Li Dahai, who simultaneously serves as Zhihu's partner and CTO, per a 源码资本 piece from late 2023 . The company has shown up in the ecosystem mainly through joint open-source and research efforts: it co-released a Chinese hundred-billion-parameter legal LLM with PowerLaw AI, Tsinghua's AI institute, Zhipu AI and OpenBMB in 2023 , and joined Moonshot AI, Tsinghua's MADSys lab and others in open-sourcing the Mooncake KVCache-centric inference architecture in November 2024 . Li himself has framed the company's direction as a shift "from individual intelligence toward collective intelligence," per 源码资本's 2023 coverage of his talk . Beyond that, elsewhere's corpus is thin on ModelBest — no material on its founding details, funding, or product line.

Recently, Bai Zeren, Senior Investment Director at Linear Capital, sat down with *Jazzyear* to share his views on the entrepreneurial opportunities brought by ChatGPT. When it comes to the domestic market for large language model startups, Linear Capital remains optimistic. "While the engineering detours and challenges will take time to work through, the probability of Chinese companies producing something with 80% of ChatGPT's capabilities within two to three years is quite high — even if surpassing what OpenAI has already built will be difficult."
