Home grown means the model should be trained from scratch by a Chinese company. The computer can be outside of China, can use any sort of hardware, the data could from anywher, but the model should not be a distilled or finetuned version of open source models developed by other country, but should be well-known for trained from scratch by the company itself.
Competitive means the home grown model leads or ties to one of top models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic from the Chatarena board.
Can you clarify if the decision is made based on the state at 2025/12/31, or if at some time before then the “competitive” criteria is met for some duration.
